    Flag Stones

    This flag and mound of stones are situated in Carhunagry South on the top of a hill called "Tullán a' mhadra" and the mound is called "Leacht de Laighean". Old people say that there are three Danes buried there- the father and the two sons. They used make some kind of a drink from the heather that grew on the mountain and the people living around there were very anxious to know how this drink was made.They were asking the Danes for a long time to tell them but they would tell no one about it.
