  2. Stone at the Quarry

    Share Share Post
    About 200 yds from the school there is a stone now almost covered which was supposed to be thrown by Fionn Mac Cumail from Tara Hill at somebody on Slane Hill.
    The story goes that the stone slipped and fell. Passers by are supposed to throw a pebble at it for luck.
