    in the townland of Bloomhill, parish of Milane and Ballinahown, Co Offaly. A large flag in the same field is said to mark the horse's grave. There is something in the shape of a cross raised on it. Nobody ever passes it without making the sign of the Cross on it, over the cross, with the foot.
    A Track of the horse's knee is in another stone.
    Tracks of St Manchan's cow are to be seen at St Manchan's well in Leamanchan where she drank when she was being stolen away. St Manchan was thus able to trace her to the thief's house.
    On one of the corner stones of the castle of Doon the figure of a woman is curved. It is called Sile-na-Gig.
