- Outside the village of St. Mullins there is a hill called Teampeal Na mba.
Probably this hill got it's name at the time St. Moling met the raiders bringing the cows, that were gathered each year, as tax for the king.
Some say that when St. Moling was looking for a site on which to build his church he prayed to God to direct him to get a suitable site. The answer he got was that whereever his cow would stop he was to build. His cow stopped a few times on this hill and the saint built his church there.
