Description
Legend claims that the dolmen was carried here by the Scottish giant Para Buidhe Mór Mhac Seoidin (or Parrah Boug MacShagean; "Great Yellow Para, son of Seoidín"). Para challenged Fionn mac Cumhaill to combat, but Fionn poisoned the nearby river and Para drank from it. The Scottish giant was said to buried at a wedge tomb nearby.
Local tradition claims that if a visitor lands three stones atop the dolmen, they will be granted a wish, or will be married within the year.
