- Years ago in the Penal days, a priest was saying Mass in the hollow under Screebogue hill near Moynalty in Co. Meath. Suddenly the priest hunters came on to prevent the priest from saying Mass. Immediately the priest saw them he ran away and the priest hunters ran after him. Just as the priest hunter's horse was jumping the drain where the priest was saying Mass it struck its foot on a stone and broke its leg and they were not able to chase the priest any further. There was a bridge built at the spot and it got the name of Cloch an TSagairt.
