The Devil's Bit.

The Devils Bit, the bite shaped gouge in the distant mountain. The Devil flying over Ireland took a bite of the mountain but Ireland being so holy the piece burnt the devils mouth and he spat out the chunk, and the chunk is now the Rock of Cashel.

    1. I suspect it pre-dates Christianity. And that the legend was recycled.

  2. Have you photographed the Rock of Cashel? I think it would be a nice pairing to put both together some way.

    1. Ahh you've seen it. It's a acropolis with a big ruined church atop it.

  3. I love the old folklore. That is a great explanation for the "missing" chunk. :)
