  1. Cloughstuckagh Stone stands on Mr Willie [?] Sheppard's farm at Glenogue. It is in the townland of Grangeford. It is said that it was thrown by a giant from Mount Leinster. There are tracks of his fingers on it. This stone is standing on one end, and is nearly circular. Its weight is about 5 cwts, and its height almost 6 feet. It is flat on the south side, and curved on the north.
