    (continued from previous page)
    who is buried there is a Giant who is supposed to have taken a step from Corn Hill to Sliab an Iarainn. People often tried to open these graves to see if any gold was hidden under them but they did not succeed in doing so. When they came a certain distance sparks began to fly and they went home for a while and when they came back all was in the same position. When they saw this they thought it useless trying it any Longer so they thought they would collect their tools Fairies were supposed to know where treasure had been hidden.
