- There once lived an old witch near the Galtee mountains and she said that they were too low. One day she came down to Ballingaddy with an ass and cart for a load of earth to make the mountains higher.
She took a load of earth near where the chapel is now. When she was going up near Ardpatrick the car heeled and the earth fell out there is the hill where it fell and there is a graveyard on its summit and there is a lake where she took the earth.- Collector
