- (continued from previous page)In the Old Yard, a couple of miles from the village, is a monument marking the spot where a chief was killed.
In the Lower Green, Borris are horse-shoe marks where a horse ran away & killed a man.
In Ballycoppigan is a curiously marked stone - the Fianna are supposed to have put the mark there.
At the cross of Sgeac is a stone with the imprint of 5 fingers on it. This stone is called the "Mine" stone.
At the Cross of Sgeac too is the Round [O?], probably an old Sacrificial altar in Pagan Days.
In Coshill is a tombstome supposed to be marking the grave of a priest. Last year an effort was vainly made to decipher the writing on it. In Stoke's Knock are many huge stones & it is said that beneath them are buried many of our ancestors.
