- There are a lot of giants graves in the County Cavan. There are two in this little district. They are both in the townland of Cohaw. On the top of the grave are a lot of big stones about two feet high. The big flat stone on top is about six feet (high) long and four feet broad. It is a rectangular shape. On the one at Cohaw School there is a mark of a crow's foot and the marks of five fingers. Nobody ever tried to find out what weight the stone on top was. There never were any lights seen about it. There is a stone in front of the school which is supposed to have been thrown by a giant.
