- There is a Giants bed in Willie Smollens field next to our field. It is on the top of the hill and you can see it from the road. There is a shape of a bed in the middle of the stones. There are two stones each side and one at the top for a pillow. The stones each side are about a ton in weight. Long ago the people used to say that giants lived in it, but it is only children that believe it in now. There are trees all around the giant's bed. The field that the giants bed is in was never ploughed.
