- Not far from this historic place the Nine Stones is a Woman's Slidder. This woman was a giantess who lived on the mountain. One day she wanted to throw a large stone to her sister in Wicklow. She as a giantess also. And when she was throwing the stone she slipped down the hill, and it did not get to reach Wicklow. It fell on the old church in Myshall and knocked it down. This Slider can plainly be seen on the mountain. Her marks is on a stone which lies in Mr Hogan's field of Drumprea. That is the story about the old woman's Slidder.
