- There lived in Carrueragh at one time a man by the name of Costello with his two children.
He lived in a farm out of which another family had been evicted by the Landlord Blacker Douglas.
The White Boys had determined to murder everybody that had anything to do with the Landlord and so they came to the house of the poor man who was a widower. They took him a little distance from the house and killed him.

As the man was dying his blood spattered on a stone beside him, and the stone is still there bearing the name of "The blood stained stone". (no title)
