  2. Strange Old Folk

    Share Share Post
    In Carrigeen (Three Castles Kilkenny) are big rocks called the Jackdaw Rocks. In one rock there is a hole called "Márnavocishe's Hole." In bygone years an old woman called "Márnavocishe" lived there. She was very "odd", and used to go from one rock to another. One is larger than the other. A priest used to visit her there and say Mass for her. Bits of metal pots and other vessels which she used were seen there some time ago.
