    A Big Stone
    There is a very big stone in the land of Corabally which is owned by Mrs Keohane. This stone is situated on top of a very high hill and it is the highest peak in Ardfield. The stone is stuck down into the ground and it is unknown how deep it is but the amount of stone over ground would weigh about four tons.
    It is believed that this stone was owned by the druids long ago and it was used as a place of worship from which they used adore the sun
