Long ago when some of the people from the north of Ballydehob used be carrying their "firkins" of butter to Cork they used go through an old road in the town land of Letter Lickey. On the side of this old road it is supposed that one man killed another with a stone. After that it was the custom with the old people; who ever happened to pass that stone should through a stone near the spot the stone was dropped at the man or if not something would happen to the person afterwards. Up to the present day there is a cairn of stones to be seen on the side of this old road.Diarmuid Mac Carthy
