    A Mr Michael Foley's garden in the townland of Lower Bunduff, Parish of Ahamlish, Barony of Carbury, Co Sligo there is a grave which is known locally as the Giant's Grave.
    It is said that in olden times two Giants fought in the Foley's field. One killed the other and some other giant came and buried him.
    The grave is to be seen to the present day, and is surrounded by big round stones.
