  2. The Rock in Ardmore Strand

    Share Share Post
    There is a rock in Ardmore strand with a hole in it and it is only honest people can pass through that hole. There is a legend connected with it and it runs as follows:-
    When St. Declan and the crew on the ship were leaving France coming to Ireland they forgot the bell. They said that they would go back for it but just then they saw the bell tied to a rock coming towards them and it was not long until it overtook them. They said that they would follow it and so they did, and it brought them into Ardmore strand. The rock stuck in the strand and it can be seen to the present day. If a dishonest person tries to pass under this rock he will be caught in it.
