“About two miles from Cahir there is a crossroads. At that crossroads is a round stone on which St Patrick knelt and left the print of his knees.”
About two miles from Cahir there is a crossroads. At that crossroads there is a round stone on which St Patrick knelt and left the print of his knees. When rain fell it gathered into two pools in the knee prints. The people came with their sick neighbours for they believed that the water would cure them and it did. There was a certain Protestant farmer living nearby who took the stone to put it on the pier of his avenue gate. When he was riding out on his horse next morning to his great surprise he found the stone back in the place where he took it from. It is to be seen in Cahir Chapel to this day.
