  1. The Bittling Hole

    Share Share Post
    North of the townland of Glenageenty there is a little river coming down from the mountain. It flows through Clodger and Maglass. There are two big holes near the source of this river. One of them is called the Bittling hole where the people used to wash the linen that the weaver used weave. In the side of this hole there is a bittling stone. The next townland is called after it, "Cloc Bulad".
