    There is also a king's grave in the place and it is believed that a battle was fought there in former times by the Danes and this king was killed and was buried there and all around his grave are long stones standing up as headstones. Out side of these are tombstones under which the people were buried. It is supposed that a treasure is hidden in the king's grave also. This is hundreds of years ago. The place where he is buried is called "Fear a' Bhuidheachais"
