  1. Cloch Síarla

    Share Share Post
    Near Manning Ford in the river Funcheon is a large rock which bears the name Cloc Síarla. It was supposed to be thrown by a hag from Labbacally.
    Her husband Síarla and herself had a row and he was running from her. As he was crossing the river she hit him with the stone and killed him so ever since the rock is known as Cloc Síarla.
    In a flood it is dangerous to cross the ford when the rock is covered.
