  2. Cairn Hill

    Share Share Post
    Cairn hill got its name because there is a cairn on the top of it. Some say that Conal Gulban a chieftain was buried there. King Niall of the nine hostages encamped there with an army for a whole season. It is supposed that there is a treasure of gold hidden there.
    Every person whose land touches Cairn Hill has an equal portion of the hill. The top of the hill is covered with heather.
