“There is a large heap of rocks jutting out into the sea at Nine Hill, in Renville, Oranmore.”
There is a large heap of rocks jutting out into the sea at Mine Hill, in Renville, Oranmore. It is called the witch's quay. The witch was making a road across the sea to Rocks Hill tower. She had 300 yards built and she was carrying down another stone in her apron. A Connemara man was passing with a boat of turf and he said "God bless the work" to the witch and as soon as the words were spoken her apron strings broke and the stone fell down and there it lies until today. The witch vanished and was seen no more.
