    (This is a small eminence on slope of Ox mountains in parish of Clonmany barony of Leyny, Co. Sligo.)
    A robber once had his home out on the top of a lonely mountain. Every night he used to come down from the mountain and bring with him every sheep and cow he came across. Some time after he disappeared and no one ever saw him again.The tracks of the house which still to be seen are called Cnocán Ruadhrí Duibh.
