“There is a field up in Barmoney and there are two large stones...”
There is a field up in Barmoney and there are two large stones standing in it. They are about twenty feet apart. Some people say that it is a giant's grave. The giant stood on the top of the Thre Rock Mountain and threw these stones out of his hand and wherever they would land he was to be buried. They say that the giant is buried there. Some people say that he threw these stones from Mount Leinster.
Other people say that it is a Druid's Alter, but that is all the information that is to be found about it.
