  1. An Old Road and a Bog

    Share Share Post
    There is a very old road in Noan, It is not remembered, or known when it was made, but it is said that it was made hundreds of years ago. It is a very sound road and it leads to a bog. It is a by-road.
    In this bog long ago there was a number of small houses made of mud. They were called "Bohans". There is a very large stone at the end of the road, there is a foot print on the stone, and this foot-print is suppoesed to be made by the devil.
