Not far from Ballyturn there is what the people of the place call a Dolmen – It consists of two large oblong stones standing on their sides and another flat stone on top, forming a kind of bed. It is supposed to be the grave of an Irish chieftain of long ago, but it is locally known as “leaba Diarmuda agus Grainne.” When flying from Finn Mac Coole, it is said that Diarmuid and Grainne rested here.
