  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There is a field down near Shanaghy called "Finlin". In this field there is a stone wall. These stones are shaped like a head of people. It is said that these stones were people one time but one time but when they are fighting for Ireland they were fighting for Ireland they changed by magic into the form of stones. It is said that whom Ireland is at war again these stones will have to fight for her.
