  1. Two Giants

    Share Share Post
    It is said that long ago two Giants were fighting near Mullagh hill. The weapons they used were stones. Some of the stones with which they fought rested on a small hill near Mullagh. The place is still known as the gates of Mullagh. These ancient stones are so heavy that no ten men nowadays would move them.
