    out on it in the year 1,700 they say that they tried to go up to the hill and when they were half way they met a big Black Dog the turned and came back so no one ever ventured to go to Knockastia through the cave ever since. This priest that was hiding from the Danes had a church in one of the fields which we call "The Bull Ground" The ruins of it are there yet.
