- (continued from previous page)of earth was in the box for the dwarfs had tricked them.Jeremiah Coakley (Courtmacsherry)
Mrs. Holland (storyteller) Ramsey Hill, Courtmacsherry. - Long ago two giants had a fight in Meelmane. They were fighting for a long time and either of them did not win. After a long time they decided to take a huge stone that was in a field near by, and the one who could make the longest throw should be regarded as the winner.
The first one only threw it to the top of Faill na Bó. Then the other threw it out in the strand, where it is still resting between two rocks and it is said that anyone who would go under it would never get a toothache. This stone is called Toothache Stone.- Collector
