  1. In the lands of Drewstown there are two huge stones. They are much higher than a man and are very broad.They are lying on the ground one across the other. They were once standing, the top of one lying against the top of the other. They have no edges on them. They are round and are like an egg. No one knows how these stones came there, they are so large. No human being could have brought them there. No one can tell how long they are there or who brought them there.
