- In Maghermore hill there is a large stone. Fionn McCool was supposed to have thrown this stone from Bulba hill to this place with his left hand. It is said he was looking for some place and he passed a large crowd of men trying to move this stone out of their way. Fionn saw them and he was mounted on his horse.
