    Hills
    There is a hill in Liscune called " Líos Ar Afrínn" because there was Mass said in it when the Penal Laws were enforced. The priests had a cave under the hill, and they used to hide if they saw any English soldiers coming.
    We have a hill called "Heather Hill" Long ago there was a rich man who lived on a fort, and he had a deer. One day the let the deer out to graze on the hill, and he began to gallop away and he never stopped till he landed on the plains of Mayo.
