“There is a bully stone outside Killmoy graveyard...”
There is a bully stone outside Killmoylan grave yard. The reason it is called the bully stone is because long ago the men used to gather around the stone after Mass to see which of them would be able to lift it. This stone is still to be seen outside the grave yard. The word Killmoylan means the roofless church.
This story was told by Walty Mullin aged 81 years who lived in Monivea. Collected by Peggy Mullin, Monivea N.S.
