  1. There is an old place in my district known as Dún Hill.
    In olden times there was a King buried in it named Quinn-ingham [?]. When he was dying he told them to call the hill after him and also Ireland. From that day to this it is known as "Slieve Concubar". It is about five hundred feet above the level of the sea. In the Penal times Mass was also celebrated on it.
