  2. Stones

    Share Share Post
    On Cases' land, now Miss Farrell's, in Brittas, there is a field called "Laurence's Park" - said to be called after St Laurence O'Toole.
    On this farm too, there is a stone with the shape of a mans' foot in it, and near it a Rath. According to John Headon RIP this stone is supposed to be the marks of St Laurence O'Toole's feet - and the stone is known as "St Laurence's Footsteps".
    On Mr Fenton's land, about 1/4 mile away, on the same road, there is a stone with three holes in it, and this stone is in a Rath.
