“In a field in Brownstown there lies a stone that connects us with the "Stone Age" of Ireland.”
(continued from previous page)where it is supposed to be still. It was about 4 feet square, and about 2 feet deep. There were a few Ogham characters on this one too.- Tobar Finian is the name by which a field in the townland of Smythstown, is known. There is a swampy hollow in one end of the field, but ther is little trace of any well in it at present, although it possessed the reputation during past years, of being a very reliable source of water during the depth of Summer, when water was often a valuable and a precious thing.It must have been a holy well during the past ages, and as the name indicates, it must have some connection with St. Finian.
