  1. There was once upon a time a giant woman who carried a big rock, about ten tons weight, in her apron. Wher she first stepped her foot made a hole in the ground. It is an island on the river Finn near Cloghan.
    The same giant stepped from from Altnapaste hill to the Gory. There is a giant buried in one of our fields along the river Finn.
