MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

Megalithic tomb in Tullykittagh Lower, County Antrim: giant stones, grave of a giant in the old name, human or godlike depending on the teller. The survey marked the site but never pinned the exact stones, so the grave keeps its distance like the giant it honours. What is certain is age and intent: someone laid great rock across a valley and called the dead a giant.
