- In the Winter of 1601, when O Sullivan Beare, and his army were on their way from Kerry to Breffni they passed the village of Mount Mary. They camped for some hours on its summit but were obliged to fly, being attacked by the forces of Mac David Burke. They succeeded in defeating their attackers. They then continued their journey through Park, and Cuilnacappy and reached Creggs, where they were hospitably received. They remained there for a short time. They set out again, and passed through Lisduff and Bóithirin no Gort, and on to Glinsk.
