    Share Share Post
    On man road from Tooman to Mobill.
    Tradition has it that it was moved from Rooskynamona, about three miles West, because a woman washed clothes in it.
    It is in the centre of a stone ans is supposed to be blessed.
    People make three visits on Monday and Thursday, and say prayers and leave some token.
    While making the visits they are not to speak to anyone.
