- (continued from previous page)About two miles from this school stands the Hill of Keash it is remarkable for its coves.
It was there St Cormac Mac Art was reared with the wolves when he was a little boy.
There are always anual sports held in Keash on Garland Sunday as a parting good bye to summer. We usually go to see King Cormac's Well. It is situated at the foot of the mountain. It is very difficult to climb Keash Hill but there is a stone wall to guide us. On top of the hill there is a large cairn where some great warrior is buried, and every time we go up we leave a stone on the cairn. When we are coming down we rest on the side of the hill and pick bilberries.
The most important buildings in Rathmullen are the school and the Post Office.(continues on next page)
