    A Story
    There is a very big stone in our field and there is a fort in the same field. A Giant threw it from Sliabh na Mban and hit the Moat in Crohane and it hopped back into the field. There is a hollow around the big stone. Jim Phelan said that nine men went to dig for gold under it. A gander came and hunted the men.
