There is a stone circle in Mrs Connor’s field Carrigagulla. Lights and people are supposed to be seen round this fort at night. Sometimes crying was heard there formerly.
There is another stone convenient to it in Denis Kelliher’s Reidh.
There are two stone circles in Sexton’s farm near Sheedy’s house.
There is another stone circle in Peter Ring’s farm Dunneen’s. One day when Bill Ring was digging stones out of this circle a hound came out of it and attacked him. When he went home his skin was black and he died the day after. It has been left untouched since.
There is a ring in the field at Padeenen’s Cross and every time a sow went into this stone circle she became lame and unable to walk.
I suppose the first stone circle mentioned might be this one? But even if not, this gives a taste of the caution you should probably exercise in this district.
