Goward Portal Tomb View all content for Goward

Before the Dolmen at Goward Townland was named Pat Kearney’s Big Stone, it was called Finn McCool’s Fingerstone. Apparently the story goes that the GIANT Finn threw the Cap-Stone playfully from Spelga, which is over the mountains nearly 3 miles away. Finn’s finger’s have left their impression on the cap-stone from when he lifted the beauty. In the old days there were also tales that Finn thereafter used the chamber beneath as his bed. Best not to wake him, cause I heard that he was a big lad!!
