There is a high rock near the sea which is called the "devils bridge." There was a jiant on this rock one time and he was trying to make a road out through the sea. A priest stopped him. The jiant began to fight with the priest the priest killed the jiant. The jiant is buried there. He left the track of his five fingers on the rock.
