    The Stony Man points to the North,South,East,and West. About seven or eight years ago some of the Stony Man fell and it was rebuilt by a man named Mr,Deegan of Ballyhupahawn,while he was resting after eating his dinner. It was never properly known why the Stony Man was put there.Some people say it was put there as guide for wanderers.
