Etymology
The name Cloch Cheann Fhaola (also written Cloich Chionnaola, meaning "the Stone of Faoil's Head") comes from a story which tells of the killing of Faoil. The story says that Balor of the Evil Eye beheaded Faoil on a rock because Faoil stole the Cow of Plenty from Balor and brought it back to the mainland from Tory.
