    Proceeding from Muff to Bailieborough, by the mountain road, is the hill of Lough-an-Leagh, rising to a height of 1,600 feet.
    In this remote locality, an Oratory formerly existed. It was founded about 1300 A.D. by Gillia Jison O'Reylie, Dynast of Breffni, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. In 1393 the monks were expelled and replaced by others of the Franciscan Order. In 1468 this Oratory with others in the county were destroyed by the English under Lord Deputy Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester. No remains of the Oratory now exist with the exception of some large stones.
