- O Grady's rock is a large rock in the farm of Timothy O Grady., An old man told me that this rock was flung from Knockfierna by an angry giant. It whizzed through the air until it rested on the spot it is on now. The giant that threw it occupied the part of the hill of Knockfierna known as the Giants Cave. Kitty Frawley, by a sgealaise, was told that, the part of the hill he is buired in is known as Downfierma.
