    There is a place called "Roisins Rock" in Gaigue. It is called this because there was an old woman called Roisin living beside it. There is the track of a giants foot on the top of the rock. It is said that a giant jumped off that rock and left the track of his foot after him. There is a field beside the battle field called "Pairc na cosa" because it is at the bottom. There is a field in Creelaughter called the "Brock" because there was a man named "Brock" killed in that field. The track of his hand is said to be in the ground yet.
