  2. Roísín Ora's rocks are situated in the townland of Bandra in the parish of Drumlish. They are enormous rocks of different shapes and makes. They are so-called because a woman lived in a house for a number of years. Her name was Roisin Ora.
    A giant is supposed to have stepped from Corn hill to those rocks - a distance of four miles and thence to Sliab an Iarainn in Leitrim.
    At Roisin's rocks there are two imprints of a foot - presumably a giants foot. They are within a yard of each other and are imprinted in the hard firm rock.
