    Rocks
    the rock there is a wall. On the face of the rock facing the north there is a cave about 30 feet from the top, which you reach by a winding path. When you get into the first cave the walls inside are composed of rough rock, and off this cave there are three or four smaller caves. At the lower end, local tradition has it, there was an under-ground passage to Duleek.
