- There was once an old Church where the the present Church yard is now situated in Leaba Mologga.
One night four men came to rob the Church. When they were gone about a few hundred yards one of the robbers bent down to tie his lace.
He had not straightened himself again when he and his comrades were turned into stones.
At present the four stones are to be seen in a field of Pat Rea's.
People say that there is a cure in one of these stones for a pain in the back; if the person suffering goes under the the first stone to the road.
