  1. Finn Mac Cool

    Share Share Post
    There are two big stones out side Punchestown gates. They are called Finn Mac Cools teeth.
    When Finn died an old man took his two front teeth and sowed them at Puncheshestown. Two big lumps of rock grew where they were sown.
    If you touch those at all your teeth shall rot before your are out of the field.
