They had the treasure nearly got when the cock they had with them crew, and the monster in charge began to roar and they ran for their lives.

Long ago there lived a giant in Carrig, and he used to be always murdering and hanging people. He was the scourge of the place. St. Patrick then came to Carrig. This night, St. Patrick came to a little house and knocked at the door. There were only two old people living in the little house, and they said to St. Patrick not to look down at Carrig rock, because there was a light there. If you saw the light you would die. St. Patrick said that there was no fear. The two old people were afraid to open the door. The old woman said to the old man. "It might be the holy man". So they opened the door. The St. Patrick told them his name and they treated him with great respect.In the morning St. Patrick went out and he met the giant and the giant ordered his men to throw this man in to the hounds and they would eat him. When the giant's men came up to feed the hounds they saw St. Patrick inside with the hounds and they were only licking him. Then the men flew up to the giant's castle, and told him that the man who was thrown in to the hounds last night, that they were only licking him. Then the giant come down to the hounds and brought St. Patrick out from them. The giant began pulling St. Patrick and the giant stiffened up and said. "Let me be free and I will never do it again". St. Patrick let him free, but

Many places along the seashore bear witness as to disasters occuring there. Carrig na Spainne(Rock of the Spaniel).
This is a huge rock or rather collection of rocks 1 1/2 miles west of Cliffoney shore and 1/4 mile north of Dernish Island. As they testifies Spaniards were lost here. It was the time of the Armada in when the Spanish ships were scattered all round Irish Coast. Two ships were battered on these rocks and smashed to pieces. All hands on board were drowned, totalling 120 in all. The bodies were washed up on the shore, Carrig Fada and were buried in the Carrow as

I am living in a small place called Carrig. It is in the town land of Kilmacowen. There are four houses in this place. Carrig is a very high rocky place and some of the land is very wild. The land in Maulin is very coarse, and cattle do not feed there. You would see in the bottom of a hill where gardens were set.
There is an old "Cabhlach" in the bottom of the hill in our field. Long ago in the time of the famine. The man of the house died with hunger. He went outside the door and he

There was another small shop in Carrig, owned by Jeremiah Sullivan. This shop did not last only for two or three years. The owner of this shop sold his house, and left Carrig.
Long ago the people of this parish used to go to Eyeries on every Tuesday to the market with their butter The market place in Eyeries long ago was where the Dispensary is at present. The name of this place was Curley Leary's shed.
The people of this district often swop one thing for another. They also pay for articles by so many days work.

About midway between the pictures-quely-situated village of Coachford and the historic town of Macroom, the ruined Castle of Carrig-a-drohid stands on a steep rock in the centre of the river Lee. A narrow bridge connects the ruin with either bank, hence its designation - Carrig-a-drohid or "The Brodge of the Rock."
There are two or three legends to account for the castle being built midway in the river, and its position, which gives it a romantic effect, lends colour to some of the stories relative to its origan.
The most romantic of those tales concerns the deformed son of a widow who lived in that locality, and was secretly in love with the beautiful daughter of a Muskerry chieftain, named Una McCarty. Una whose beauty, the legend goes on, was sung by the bards of Munster, was reputed to have spurned numerous offers of marriage from warriors and noblemen. Dermot, the widow's son, was very poor, and one of his occupations was snaring trout in the fords of the Lee. His "catches" he sometimes sold at the chieftain's stronghold, where he would linger to gaze on the fair Una before returning to his cabin to dream of her beauty and ponder on his prospects of gaining affections. At times, realising his deformity and extreme poverty, Dermot would say to himself, "When she spurns brave and handsome noblemen, she will never look on me for the one who would win her must rival them all."
One summer evening, while poor Dermot exhausted and weary from his fishing adventures, rested on the rock upon which the castle was afterwards built, he was attracted by an unusually sweet singer, whose voice went ringing melodiously through a sally grove that fringed the south bank of the river.

The Franks family were the landlords of Kilcanway and Carrig Park (Mallow) They lived in Carrig Ho. on the bank of the Blackwater about 5 miles east of Mallow. They were fair landlords and it was only on rare occasions only that an eviction took place on their estate. Hamiltons were the landlords of Annakisha (after the Nagles) and Reeves the landlords of Castle Kevin + Killura.
The late occupant of Castle Kevin Captain Reeves (unmarried) died about three years ago. His estate has been divided up by the Land Commission. A farmer called O'Connor now owns the Castle.

Hidden TreasureThere is a hidden treasure in Carrig Island and many people have searched for it, but they did not succeed in getting it.Long ago a man named John Patt lived in Carrig road. One night he dreamt that there was a hidden treasure in the Island, in a certain field under a haw thorn tree. He was told in his dream to go to Limerick and get Holy water from six churches, and to go to search for the treasure at mid-night.Next morning he went with another man, to Limerick and they got the Holy water

In the year 1893 on the 15th August a boat left Tarbert Island on an excursion to Kilkee. The boat took sixteen passengers across. They stopped there until evening and it was dark when they began their journey for Tarbert Island again. All of them returned to the boat with the exception of one and he remained in Kilrush. When they reached the point near Carrig Island some people in the shore at the Tarbert side heard cries for help, but they had no boat to go to their relief. the boat they had was very old and the people do not know whether she sprang a leak or whether she got capsized but they were all lost. There were two of one family in it and four of another that were lost. All the bodies were recovered along the shore with the exception of one girl that was never found. there was one boy found in Carrig Island and he had his right shoe off, and the people say that they were preparing to swim. The boat was found in Carrigaholt about ten miles away, with the body of the owner John Murphy about four yards from the boat. It was the greatest disaster that ever happened in North Kerry.

Directly over Leac Rurridh as if for the protection of that important landing stage is another stone circle 80 feet in diameter and traces of others though indistinct a few yards south of Seachan Beantighe, but the largest of the Knockadoon city of circles only lately identified through Mr Robert Ryan of Doon Castle is a little NW of Carrig na Galour (the pigeon's rock) on the shoulder of the rock. It measures 150 feet in diameter and shows traces of other monuments within its limits. The stone wall which runs N and S by Carrig na Galour divides another small circle to the N on the old shore and there are distinct traces of three other stone circles on the southern shore of the lake midway between Leaba Dhiarmada's Grainne and Teampal Nuadh, which are marked on the map of Crofton Croker. Seachan a vanatee or Seat of the House-Keeper, a favourite resort of the white-robed enchantress. One who is supposed locally appeared 40 years ago in all the radiance of her majestic beauty to the late Mr James Clary of Bourchiers's Castle; but a few evenings after the treacherous waters of Loughgur swallowed up the unfortunate young gentleman through the capsizing of his currach, thereby proving that the summons of the lady of the lake is always imperative and irresistable.
