“A little way by Mickie Byrd in Farrell's field there is a big stone.”
A little way by Mickie Byrd in Farrell's field there is a big stone. On this stone there is a shape of a thumb mark. It is said by some people that St. Patrick threw this stone from Tara, and that it is his thumb mark that is on it. Other people say that it was a giant that threw if from Tara.Written by
