  1. The giant's track.
    The Giant's track is situated about half a mile from my house. - two miles from Kilcormac.
    It is on the top of the Hill of Carrig. It is a big flat stone and on it are the marks of a Giant's and A devil's feet. The marks of the giant's big stick are also to be seen. On a hill near it a man is supposed to be seen.
    A palm tree is growing near the rock. Men and people are supposed to be heard shouting and laughing at certain times.
