    Loughanlea Mountain
    There was a battle in Loughanlea and a woman on one side had a bottle with a cure with which she could put the head again on a man if it were cut off. Her side was beaten and then she threw the bottle into the lake on the mountain which was formerly much bigger. It was drained when peat was cut from around it.
    The lake became possessed of curative qualities- the water could cure any disease.
    This same woman lifted a pile of stones in her lap and with them made the cairn on the top of the mountain.
    This mountain is not far from Bailieboro
