The stone at Cnoc na Croiche, or "Gallows Hill," in Cooladerry is traditionally venerated, though it is not specifically linked to a named saint or cure. Its association with a gallows suggests a possible historical or folkloric connection to judicial or ritual practices, though no definitive historical event has been recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
