This huge Dolmen (cap-stone is 47tons, 3000BC) is said locally
that it was carried here by Scots giant, para Bui Mor Seoidin.
(He came here to challenge Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhail.)
If you seach of a wife or husband, throw a small pebble onto the cap-stone.
If it remains on the top, you will be married within the year !
(I tried it, but nothing yet happens in Today........)
