- This account by told by James McHugh, Tullycleave, aged 58 years who heard it from his father Frank McHugh, Tullycleave aged 90 years. Frank is still alive and was reared & born in Maghera about four miles S.W. of Ardara.There was a woman living in Maghera named Kitty Gallagher. There was a large stone on her farm and men came from all parts to try to lift it, but they could not do so. One very windy evening Kitty went out to the fields and lifted the stone in her arms and put it up against a tramp cock of hay to keep it steady. This was considered a great feat for a woman to do and she was always spoken of as the strongest woman in the district.
