  1. A Story about a Lios

    Share Share Post
    There is an old lios near Croughwell. Around it is a mound of stones. In it there is supposed that there is a black guarding it. One man went into the lios to see was the black there. He was never seen again. The people say that the cat tore him. Ever since it is closed up and nobody goes near it.
