    Mount Hillary - On the top of this mountain which is situated to the south of Banteer there is a large heap of stones known as "Daddy Morey's Castle". It is that an old man named Daddy Morey lived on the top of this mountain long ago. Every day he went out and brought a bag of stones to this place. He intended building a castle. Before he began his work the land-lord died. The new landlord who came raised the rent and the castle was never built since.
