- The following is a story about Seán Rúadhs inch. Long ago a Landlord whose name was copley owned some of the land around my district and Menton was the Landlord of Barley-Hill. Copley used have cattle grazing on one side of the cliff and Menton lived on the other side. Menton had blood-hounds always as a rule. One morning Menton was up early and he saw two men stealing one of Copley's cattle on account of sheer hunger it is supposed. Menton let loose his hounds and they killed one of the men in this inch, ever since it is called Sean Rúadh's because the man that was killed [?] there his name was Seán Rúadh

“Seán Rúadh's inch is a field at the bottom of a glen called Glen Wobble.”
