[Cornaseer]
"The only object of curiosity is what the peasantry call Clough Ghrana or Grana's Stone, said to have been the place where Diarmud and Grana used to sleep at night.The most probable conjecture is that it was a druidical altar in former days, is said to have been surrounded by a circle of stones with their ends fastened in the ground more s[.]a[.]e that it is the grave of giants or some ancient Irish heroes of whom such [extra] or di[.....]y feats are related by the Irish peasantry."
