  1. Stories of Giants and Warriors
    My grandfatehr who is two years dead now, told me that there is a giants grave on the "stone pound Bog" He said it was covered with stones and it was about ten foot long and about four feet in width. he also said about twenty yards away from the grave there is a big rock and the track of a hand and five fingers on it. The hand is about three times the size of a man's hand and the fingers the thickness of a child wrist. The Stone Pound Boy is near the town of manor-hamilton.A number people cut turf on it.
