All around about the Mass Rock and the bridge and Mrs O Donnells was called Cockhill. There is a bank a few yards above the rock, and it was called Bin Dearg in former times.
In olden times there were no bushes on the bank, and this was said that when Bin Dearg would be covered with bushes Ireland would be free. Miss Minnie Kelly lives on the top of this bank.
This lady lives alone in a large house.
She keeps lodgers in the Summer and she carries on a grocery business.
She can tell many stories about fairies.
