    In my Grandfather's land there is a big stone. A giant threw it from O'Briens on the top of Abbeyfeale hill. It is about two tons in weight. Where is landed there was a King's palace. It is growing up from the earth. It is said if a person struck it they would not live twenty four hours.
    Men went one night to strike it but it failed them, they all got afraid and no one of them would strike it. It is in the townland of Cahir Lane Abbeyfeale.
