065 | Extract from Statistical Report. (new) "Antiquities" "Under this head it may be mentioned that in a field a little to the west of the Church (RossKeen) there is a singular upright stone, which is evidently of very ancient date. It is somewhat in the form of an ObelisK and is called Clach a' Mhearlich i.e. the thiefs stone. Though in the midst of an arable field, it is most religiously preserved, no attempt being made to remove it. None even of the oldest inhabitants are acquainted with any district tradition respecting its origin or intention. but from the name it is conjectured that some noted Robber was buried beneath it." |
