- St. Colmcille's Stone, Carrick Hill, Edenderry.
There is a local tradition regarding a very large stone on the top of Carrick Hill, Edenderry.
It is said that St. Colmcille threw the stone from Croghan Hill to Carrick Hill ten miles distant. You can see the imprint of fingers on the stone, which probably gives rise to the tradition.- Informant
