- To the south west of Cathair Con Rí near the fé bogs there is a place called Gleanntán na Crónach. It means the glen of the swine. In ancient times when people were coming from Camp fair they saw a lot of swine coming down the glen.
The swine consisted of a sow and a litter of suckling bonhams. They belonged to no earthly person and disappeared again as they came and that is the reason it was called Gleanntán na Crónach. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
