- Fairymount Hill
On fairymount Hill, there is a stone which is supposed to be thrown by a giant from the hill of “Keish” to this hill, and it is said that the two giants were fighting.
I think our giant must have lost because there is also a grave in which he is supposed to be buried.
In another part of the hill there is a bed in which he slept, and it is said that whoever sleeps in it will never wake again.
The big fingerprints of the giant are seen around the stone.
