"Tinker Hill" Drumullen. So called because in olden times it was a popular (in olden times) rendezvous for tinkers on their way to and from the fair of Spancil Hill. There was a road running right along by the hill and many a bloody fight took place there between different tribes of tinkers. Old people say murders were committed there, and at night men are supposed to be seen carrying coffins up the hill.
