- (continued from previous page)Cnucán na Saighdiúirí is a little hill near my home and when the Civil War was raging, this little hill was the haunt of the Republicans. When the Free State Soldiers used to pass the road they used be mown down by the Republicans.
Páirc na gCruach is a small field and it is near a bog. When the people used to cut the turf they used to put the reek in this field and the name has lived on since the earliest days.
Sliabh a' Naoimh is a place I know and it is said that when St. Brendan came to this district he used to preach from this hill.
