    the chieftains brothers were staying. As they were passing the house of a farmer named Barry on a hilly part of the road O Coughlan asked the roundhead Officer should he succeed in capturing the land of rebels to spare the life of his brother and the answer was a gallow erected on Barry's Hill and the cruel execution of the kindhearted Chieftain.
