  2. This was told to me by grandfather who is 85 years of age. Lower Ballybrack is called the standing stone because Fionn Mac Cumhal through a stone across the water from Magiilligan. It was a magic stone and it is still standing from the day it was thrown to this day. Fionn threw it over a good many years ago.
