    who lived at the time of Saint Columbkille.
    The Hill of Randhoon is about a mile from my house. Turgesius had a fort there. It was here that fifteen men dressed as girls wounded and took Turgesius prisoner. People here say that he was put into a barrel and rolled down the Hill of Knockion into Lough Derrevaragh and drowned.
