  1. Giants.
    Long ago there was supposed to be a Giant living in Grange. He said he could knock Bally Burr Castle from the top of Sliab na M-Ban with a stone.
    The stone is to be seen in the old road still. It has an oval shape. The is a hole in it and it is said that it was made by the Giant's little finger. There is supposed to be gold hidden under it. Some time ago it was dug but they could never get to the end of the stone.
