Mr G. Orr
Market Square
Moville. - Near the town of Moville in Co. Donegal there is a large green Park. The side of this green touches the sea and on this side there are many rocks and the old people tell us that when St Colmcille was going to Iona, he stopped to visit Moville on his way down the Lough. He got tired walking about and sat down to rest. While resting he was leaning against a rock. On the Moville Green is a rock in which is a track of a man's back. The old people say it was against this rock Saint Colmcille rested.
