- In the townland of Burren, about two miles north of Blacklion, Co. Cavan, there are two very high rocks, with a deep valley between them.
The story is told that one day a giant was jumping across from one rock to the other, he jumped backwards and forwards several times but at last he fell into the valley and was killed. Since that, this place is known as the "Giant's Leap" and near the "Giant's Leap" are some very high rocks standing on their ends with one huge rock on top, this is where the giant was buried and is called the Giant's Grave.- Collector
