- (continued from previous page)About a mile and a half from the village of Aughrim there is a place called "Skull Hill". It is situated on the Aughrim-Killimor road. This place originally got it's name after the battle of Aughrim had been fought. It is said that this hill consists of the skulls of soldiers who were slain at this battle. This is one of the many local beliefs concerning the battle.(John Hanrahan, Aughrim)
