    Share Share Post
    Along the road to Nobber from College, there is a stone called "Saint Patricks" stone.
    There is a mark of Saint Patrick's knee and his foot on this stone.
    Tradition says that when St Patrick was going to Kilarugle church he prayed here, that God would show him where the Church was
    Over three fields away the ruins of Kilarugle church can be seen. There is a well there too, and a cross is engraved on a stone nearby. it is said St Patrick drank there.
