  1. A Giant Story

    Share Share Post
    Near Drumsna, Co. Leitrim there is a farm called Belmont. It is said that a giant threw a rock from Shee Mor and it fell in Belmont. Shee Mor is a small mountain about four miles distant. There are five pieces strewn around and in one there are three finger-prints. One of them is going right through the rock for the distance of one foot. The other two are on the of the rock. They are supposed to be the first and second fingers of the giant.
