    A big Carraig.
    Once upon a time three lived a great strong man on Black Rock mountain, which is about 8 miles from Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. One day he was trying his strength. He caught a big stone and threw it off the mountain and it lodged in J. O. Rourke's farm Ballingaddy, which is about 6 miles from the mountain. The great stone can still be seen and the print of the man's five fingers can still be seen on the side of the rock.
    The man's name is not known.
