  1. Comhla Bhreac

    Comhla bhreac
    There is a comhla bhreac in Bill Harrington’s hill. Long ago there was a man from Coulagh cutting turf near the comhla bhreac and he saw a ship full rig leaving the comla breac. It sailed through the sliabh through Díseart and disappeared.
    Once there was a man after sheep. He stood on top of the comhla bhreac. He heard the noise under him, he did not know what it was so he ran as quickly as he could. When he was a distance from the rock he looked back. The rock was opened out, and he heard the noise of horses’ hoofs and music.
