“Tá cnoc i n-aice le bailemathghamhna darb ainm Mullach Mhoirne, (Mullavornia)...”
Tá cnoc i n-aice le Baile Mathghamhna darb ainm Mullach Mhoirne. (Mullavornia)Shé mo thuairim gur tugadh an t-ainm sin air ó Chlan Móirne.Tá an cnoch seo maol agus ar a bhárr tá lorg coise móire. Tugtar "Cos Con Culann" (Cú Chulainn) ar an bhall seo.
- Timcheall leath-mhile ar an dtaobh thoir-ó-dheas den cnoc luaidhte thuas tá uaimh (McCutcheon's Cave)Tá sí ar an taobh clé de Chanáil na Mídhe. Is éigin do dhuine lámhachán isteach innte. Is dócha go bhfuil bealach fé thalamh go sean-chaislean atá i gCaisleán Cor (Castle Cor) déanta ón uaimh seo. Tá an caisleán timcheall 200 péirse ón uaimh.Ní féidir liom aon sgéal d fhagháil ón duine is sinne san cheanntar.Ós rud é go bhfuil leath-chiorcaill de thulcánaibh curtha amach suas le 20 péirse ón uaimh, dar liom go raibh sean-caislean ann san sean-aimsear.
