  2. Giants and old Warriors
    I have found out from some of the people of this district about a giant who lived about two hundred years ago. He lived in the townland of Whitechurch in a castle. He used to raid the people's houses to get food. He was killed by an old warrior with a stone. The stone struck the giant on the side of his head and killed him.
