    In our village there is three big hills and I have a name for each of those hills called : -
    Cnoc an Uaigh : - It is so called because a little boy took apples of a garden which belonged to a landlord of which I spoke off before, This little boy was stripped on this hill.
    Cnoc an Breitrimh : - It is so called because this little boy was judged on this high hill.
    Cnoc an Giorrtaig : - It is so called because on it this little boy was buried. They are very big hills.
