    (continued from previous page)
    There is an altar on the front of the hill and this is said to have been his place of worship.
    It is a very dangerous place and many cattle have been killed there.
    One time Columcille was sitting putting on his shoes.
    The enemy came upon him and he had put on one sock and one of his shoes.
    Then he had to fly and to this day the people will say you have Columcille;s curse if you do the same.
