“In the townland of Raffoney which is about four miles west of Mullagh, there is a mound made of large stones sunk in the earth.”
In the townland of Raffoney which is about four miles west of Mullagh, there is a mound made of large stones sunk in the earth. This is called "Leabard Gráinne.” It is called "leabard Gráinne" because long go there lived a Princess named Gráinne whom Fionn wanted to marry. But a man called "Diarmuid" married her instead of Fionn. Fionn heard this and he sent his soldiers after them. When Gráinne and Diarmuid were fleeing they slept in these stones and ever after this mound is called "Leabard Gráinne"
