There is also a coffin stone in Waterford, Eire. It was used by the Brits during the troubles. In their infinite compassion the Brits thought they would erect a Gibbet on a hill overlooking the town so that condemned Irishmen could have their last view of the town before they were murdered. When their victims were dead the brits would lay them on the stone for their families to collect. When not put to such use and the weather was fair, the women of the town would sit on the stone and knit.
It needs some work. adamsan 10:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
