    (continued from previous page)
    Twenty years ago at the time of the Anglo Irish war, a party of Black and Tans were carrying out a round, up in this district. In the course of their search, a party of them went up to Knockpatrick. They noticed the isolated flat stone, and growing suspicious that it might be hiding an arms dump, took it up out of its place. In doing this they broke the stone, and a portion of it was never seen since.
