    The Grey Rock:- Situated in the townland of Carnaghan, Inch Island Co Donegal. The colour of this rock is grey. Therefore that is the reason it is called the "Grey Rock".
    Shinney's Rocks:- A man lived beside these rocks one time called "Shinney" and that is how it got the name. It is situated in the townland of Castle Quarter, Inch Island Co Donegal.
