    It is said that Saint Patrick passed through Raheens on his way to Croagh Patrick and that he built a small Church at Killeen in Raheens. There are six hills in Raheens namely, the Windmill, Strúán, Killeen, captain's Hill, Bridge Hill, and Cruagán igceanna.
    The Windmill hill got its name from a windmill that was on the top of that hill. The windmill was a round building of about thirty feet in height, and it was knocked about six years ago.
    Browns own by house is three storey high and there are thirty two rooms in it.
