- About a mile and a half from Stranorlar there is a wooded hill. At the top of the hill there are the ruins of what was once an Abbey or round tower.
On the slabs of rock beside the ruins there are imprints of a hand a human foot. These imprints though of huge size are almost perfect in shape.
Some people say that they are relics of the days of Finn & the Fianna and that the imprint is of Finn's foot
However a more likely explanation is that the Abbey or what ever it was was inhabited monks in the Penal days.(continues on next page)- Collector
