  2. Cill Stuifín

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man from Liscannor was gathering timber off the coast of Cill Stiphín with a horse and car.
    When he had the load filled a man walked up to him and asked him to sell the timber. He said he would and he asked the strange man where did he live. The man said "Out there" pointing to the black spot in the sea and he also said to him Throw the timber out in the sea. The man obeyed him and as fast as he threw the timber out it disappeared into the water where Cill Stiphín is.
