There is a crag in Toonagh in the parish of Clooney, County Clare and people call it Crag-na- tciarog. It is situated on the side of a large undulating hill. Its proper name is Crag na Rí nog, because young princes used to be crowned here long ago. There is on a side of the hill a spring well. Convenient to the well is a large flat stone, bearing the print of a horse's hoof.
