    When there is a low tide there is a passage across Oranmore Bay. In the passage which can be walked on aflow tide there is a stone called by the people Cloch na Mallacht. The following story is told concerning it.
    A priest was answering a sick call and was hurrying across this passage. He stumbled on the rock and fell. He cursed the rock and since then it has been called Cloch na Mallacht
