    Share Share Post
    A giant and his wife were climbing the side of Barnaribbon Bray on Benbulben one day, they had a quarrel and she fled from him. He took up a stone weighing about seven tons and fired it from Barnaribbon Bray to the sea field in Lissadell at her a distance of five miles. The stone is still to be seen there yet.
