- My townland - Cashel
2-38 Cashel is in Desertegney. On Cashel hill there are four standing stones. There is a wide space between two of these stones, like a door. These are like the walls of a house but there is no roof on them. Also it is like where someone was buried. It is called the Giants stable, and they are in Mr John O'Donnell's hill.
There is another standing stone further out than them and it is said that there was a man hanged somewhere about this stone. It is crooked and it is called the crooked stone. There are tracks on this odd stone like the hands of a person and you can put all your fingers down on each of these tracks, and it also is in Mr John O'Donnell's hill. People say that the Danes were supposed to be round Cashel hill, and that they hid round these stone, in olden times. There is a very large stone at the foot of Cashel hill, and the people call it a Mass Rock. It is in Mr Philip Mc Laughlin's land.- Collector
