  1. Giants

    Share Share Post
    Once a giant was standing on Born [?] hill which is near the school and another giant was standing on Keash hill, which is over ten miles away. The giant on Born fired a stone at the other giant and it fell near Geevagh crossroads in the townland of Ballinashee. It is a very high stone- about nine feet high.
