- There is a hill in Kilmovee called "Inghean Ruadh". Once upon a time a man and a woman lived near the hill
They had one daughter. She had red hair and they called her "Inghean Ruadh." She was very lonely and used to cry every morning. She died when she was young. After her death her father and mother saw her three times on the hill. That is how it got its name. On the same hill there is said to be unbaptised infants buried in it.
