- In a field in Lisnadara in the County Mouaghan the property of Mr Deegan there are four stones standing about six feet in height. There is a big flat stone on the top of the other four. The stones are standing around a big tree. There is supposed to be a Kings son buried there The people long ago carried the stones then there on their backs. There are certain marks and strokes on the stones which the people cannot understand. It is said that the people long ago used to write with strokes and marks. On every-one of the stones there is some strokes.This was tolkd to me by Miss Katie Mc Eaney of Shankill Shercock
