  1. The Druids' Circle

    Share Share Post
    One time a man named John McLaughlin who lived in Lagnashinna had a circle of standing stones in his farm called the Druids Circle. Those stones were very large and great for building purposes. One time this man was building a ditch on his farm nearby and he took a lot of these stones which disfigures the circle very much. Shortly after this he took seriously ill and after a while got helpless. The evening before his death a neighbour man saw him standing at the circle.
