- It is said that a woman carried stones in her apron over from Moybollogue to make the cairn. When she was coming across the mountain the string of her apron broke and some of the stones fell and made a small cairn. About one hundred years ago some men were digging sods near the small cairn. The men dug up the cairn and a man named Patrick Curtis went down into it. When he came back he said he smelled frying bacon.
Some people say there used to be men riding horses round the cairn at night. They used to come across the mountain from the big cairn past the small cairn. They used to go out on the road a short journey below the Edenegully school.(continues on next page)
