  1. On the property of John Kelly Malin there is a graveyard in which English soldiers were buried called "White Boys". It is said that no one should cultivate the land as it is not right. John Kelly's grandfather began to dig it up one day and his spade stuck and he was unable to pull it up again.

  2. On the property of Neil McLaughlin Killoort Malin Head, there are two caves in which the Danes are said to have dwelt. Many people have been in these caves and say there are apartments.
    These caves reach far underneath the ground. Holiday makers came from afar to these caves.
