- A Monument
There is a monument in Ballybrock called the Standing Stone. How the Standing Stone came was one morning when the people got up they saw the Stone. They say that a giant threw it from the far side. Many people say that there is a gold under it. Others say that there is somebody buried under under it. Nobody knows what it is there for. All they know is that the Stone came there when they were sleeping
