    Another Story of Strawbrega Bay. Niall-na-ard or Neil of the heights is said to rule over the hills of Knockameny, Knockglass, Lagg and Gorey, as also over the Gulf of Strabregay near Malin. His Queen ruled with him over this territory.
    Manannan M'Lir is regarded as the Irish sea-god and he is said to be buried in the Tonn Banks, off the coast of Innishowen Head. Manannan is said to have submerged Niall-na-ard and his queen with their former castle and estate under Strabreagy Lough.
