    A Funny Story
    Long ago it is said that there were very strong women going about the country called hags. One of these women it is said took the summit of a mountain in the Tralee range of mountains and was carrying it in her apron towards the Mac Gillicuddy's Reeks. It fell from her apron near the river Laune in Lower Meanus and it remains there to day with crops (furze) growing on it.
