  1. A Story about a Giant

    Share Share Post
    There is a story about a giant who carried a stone from Benbulben mountain and left it in one field and therefor it is called the "Big Stone Field". The weight of the stone is about three tons.
    Sued Finn is a resting place that Finn had out on the mountain for resting when he used to be hunting the wild beasts and killing them on the mountain.
