    “Some time ago, there lived a giant in Belmont and another in Cnocma.”

    Feabhra 1938
    Some time ago there lived a giant in Belmont and another in Cnocma. They had a quarrel and it ended in a terrible fight. The Cnocma giant flung a huge stone at his enemy. He, seeing the stone approach, stuck it with a violent blow of his sword and broke it into three parts. Two parts of it remained on the hill with the marks of the giants fingers on one of them. The other part rolled down the hill to a field in Ballyglass and there they remain to the present day.
