  1. The Story of a Killeen

    Share Share Post
    There is a Killeen in a farm at Keelcoolaght in the parish of Killorglin. There are old stones standing up there bearing inscriptions which are difficult to read.
    Several strangers have visited the place for many years back and could not make out what language it was.
    The old people used to say that they heard the sound of horses galloping around this field.
    Told by her father who heard it from the old people.
