- At Arklow Rock in olden times when there was a price on a priest's head a Priest was chased by the Yeomen for his life across the Rock and he came to a high gate. The horse had to jump this gate on to the beach and they landed safely, but the Yeomen were too cowardly to take the jump so the Priest got clear.
That is why this place is called the Priest's Gate. The son of one of those Yeomen lived in the very house I am living in at present, and this man's name was Proctor.- Collector
