"This is the most singular stone that I ever remember to have seen, it lies on the ground, is 12 ft. [feet] long, 2 broad, 1 thick, has at one end the rude attempt to carve a head & shoulders. All that natives say of this that it was placed over a giant and is called "Mac Bhrolchin's Stone " Pennant's Tour of 1772
