    (continued from previous page)
    was called the Giant's Grave Field. Large human bones were got in two places in the field. At the head of one of the graves there was a stone set on its end. Peter Garrigan (now dead) found one of the graves. Old Ketty Williamson's servant girl used to say that people did not like to go near the field at night.
