    stone belonged to the druids and that they used to light fires on it long ago, to cook their meals which very often consisted of Indian meal. At that time there were no mills and it took a long time to cook the meal as it is was not ground up small. This is most likely to be the truth.
    St Lawrence O' Toole died in Dublin, saying "God bless Dublin and may he always look over it."
    There is also another stone on Keedean hill and names on it.
