What is recorded here

Lewis claimed a Giant's Grave stood at Millford in 1837, yet no stones or tomb remain for anyone to point at. The town and townland share the same name, but the grave vanished before human memory or left Lewis imagining what he wanted to see. Whatever he saw or invented, the place kept the shape of his belief long after the stones disappeared.

Lewis (1837) recorded that there is a 'Giant's Grave' at Millford. There is no known megalithic tomb nor any other structure that might merit the name 'Giant's Grave' in the town of Millford nor in the townland, also Millford, in which it is situated. The basis for Lewis's claim is not known. Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 167. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume VI, County Donegal.'
