- On the side of Cruckcraw Mountain in the townland of Cruckcraw, Parish of Gartan, there stands a stone about the size of a man.
One night five boys about sixteen years of age tumbled it. When they came into their houses, the chairs were jumping about. They went back to the stone and set it up again. Then they returned to their houses and all was quiet.
It is believed that this stone was put up by the / Danes to mark a grave.
