  2. There is a large heap of rocks jutting out into the sea at Mine Hill in Renville W. Oranmore. It is said that once there was an old woman who was making a road across the sea from Mine Hill to Ardfry tower. As she was working some of the herds in Renville were passing by and saw her. She was carrying a large stone at the time and they spoke saying "God bless the work". She dropped the stone immediately and disappeared.
    The road was never finished - it remains unfinished to this day.
