When the people heard about the killing of Bruadair, by the robbers they kept up a practice of throwing a stone on the place of murder as a token of remembrance.
   After a year or so, a big heap of stones was piled up to mark the spot where Bruadair was murdered. The old people called such a heap a Leacht. The leacht was a memorial heap of stones piled up in honor of Bruadar--the murdered man.
