When they came to the top of "Leacht de line- they discovered the heather .Out of the heather they started to make whiskey or some kind of drink and later on they were captured by some of the men from Brian Borús army and when the whiskey was got with them,the men asked how they were making it.The father said to kill the two sons first and then that he himself would tell the secret .So when the two sons were dead he said to kill himself now ,that he would never tell the secret.So the three of them are buried in "leacht de line" and there graves are to be seen there today.
