- There is a field near Shannonvale in which five pillars of stones stand. Each is approximately a ton weight. It is said that five giants were removing them to build a house. They met a woman on their journey and they didn't want her to know them. The woman was going to a well about a mile beyond. They flungs the stones a distance of eight miles. From that day to this they stand there. It is said a person wanted to remove them but he had a dream before hand he would die if he removed them.
