    On the Tawny Hill road there is a hill or mound which is overgrown with bushes and grass.

    “On the Tawny Hill road there is a hill or mound which is overgrown with bushes and grass.
    We always knew it as the moat when we were children.
    Here it was said some of Colm Cille's soldiers came after the war and that they still lie there in their war armour awaiting Anti Christ when they will arise to make a last stand for the faith.
    Anti Christ will be known to have come when a Black Pig will run from Clogherhead through the village of Termonfeckin.
