  1. Old Irish Tales

    Share Share Post
    In my district there are stories of the men of Fionn Mac Cumhall. These men are called the Fionna. There are stones of immense size supposed to be thrown by Fionn. However these stones are very plentiful all over the countryside some in rivers others in glens and on hills. There are Danish forts on a lot of hills. No one ever destroys these forts. There are small trees growing in rocky ground these are fairy trees.
