- A little way below Mickie Byrd's on the right as you face for Drogheda, there is a big stone. On this stone, there is the shape of a thumb-mark. It is said by some people that St. Patrick threw this stone from Tara, about five miles away, and that it is his thumb-mark that is on it. Other people say that it was a giant who threw it from Tara.
