    There is an old stone in the village of Ballyskea and the people used to say that who ever could take the stone away would get a pot of gold under it and many people tried to take the stone away and it failed them. One day a man tried to take it away and he stirred it and when he stirred it a big Giant came out and the man fell dead.
