- (continued from previous page)They then brought the sieve out between them, and turned the contents into the sack. The Friar asked them did they give him his sieve of corn. They replied that they did. The Friar however knew their deceit, so he cursed them and the three misers were changed into three stones and as the dog barked at him, it was changed into a small stone.
The three large stones can be seen on this hill behind the school, together with the small stone which represents the dog.
Knokfearbréagh means the hill of the deceitful men.
