   Rossmacowen, is a field; on the north fence of this field is a green oak, and it was to that, that Diarmuid ODonnovan was hanged when the English chased the OSullivan Beare's clan. The Dogs' Rock:- This rock is situated about a mile east of Beare Island's Point. We are told that it was called so, because the waves roar around it all during the year, in Summer and Winter.
