There is only one graveyard in Killorglin but there is a place in Reen about a mile from Killorglin in which unbaptised children are buried. It is called "Cill Breach".

I am living in the Square Killorglin. My house is a slate one.Most houses in Killorglin are slate houses. There are a great number of new houses in Killorglin. Not long ago there was a village built on the other side of the River Laune which has been named Baile Nua.The population of Killorglin is getting smaller. There are not many old people in the town.There are two old ruins in the town, one of them an old church in the graveyard and the second on an old castle in the town.The commonest names in the

A short distance from Killorglin, in the district of Dungeel there are the ruins of an old church and in it there are two big statues. It is supposed to be built by St. Forgla the St from whom Killorglin gets its name. Near the church is a grave with a tomb over it, and the tomb bears the name of "Ambrose Pierce".

There are no fairs held in Glencar. The nearest place a fair is held to the Glencar people is in Killorglin. This town is more than ten miles of a distance. The fair is held in Killorglin once a month. The day before the fair most people bring their stock to Killorglin. If they are not sold on that day they are brought home again.
On the fair morning all the stock are brought in to Killorglin about seven o'clock. All the buyers are in the fair about eight o'clock. If they will see animals that will suit them they will try to but them. They will offer the man who ownes the cattle a certain price for his cattle. If the seller is not pleased with what he was offered he will not sell them. he will put a price on them himself then the the buyer will bid him a lower price. If there is any man around them he will try to make the bargain. When the bargain is made both the buyer and the seller strike each others hands that means the bargain is made.
Some buyers will give earnest on cattle. The earnest means that the buyer will give the seller about five shillings as earnest.

When St. Patrick came to Ireland to convert the people of Ireland to Christianity, he did not perform the whole task during his life time and many districts remained in pagan darkness for many years after his death. These pagans dwelt chiefly in remote and mountainous regions. These mountaineers were given up to robbery, murder and outlawry then as they are a good inclined to these vices even at this very day.
A band of these outlawries lived in the mountains west of Killorglin and the goat was their sole support and means of subsistence. They made clothing from his skin, they ate his flesh at all seasons, drank his milk. They elevated him into the position of a "God" or protector. A fair was held in or near the place where Killorglin village now stands in those far off days. They gave their god which was the he-goat the place of honour by placing a member of his family on a raised platform. This custom still persists even to this day. A great annual Fair is held in Killorglin and the he-goat is placed on pedestal twenty feet high and the fair is called Puck Fair. People of this locality come

There is a fair held in Killorglin on the 10th and 11th of Aug. every year, called Puck Fair. The people put a buck goat up in a big stand in the middle of the town. They have him decked with ribbons. All the tinkers and gipsies from the country come to Puck Fair and all the farmers' Boys and girls come to the fair also.
There was an old legend that at one time the town was going to be attacked by a large army. All the goats in the mountains flocked to Killorglin. This alarmed the townspeople but they were able to beat off their attackers. Ever since they hoist the puck goat in honour of the goats, for the annual fair. All the boys and girls no matter how far away they live, like to come to Killorglin on that occasion.

The people in the parish of Tuogh used to have hurling matches against the people of Killorglin. The captain of the Tuogh team was a man called Daniel O Sullivan who lived at Tomies he was called Donal A Dróma in Irish.Once upon a time both teams were to have a match but the captain of the Killorglin team a man called Peter Hartnett, and he was gone to Cork on the day of the match and did not come home until late. When he came he went to play with his team but he was in no heart that day. He went playing and while he played the Killorglin team were winning. The ball went out and Peter Hartnett struck it with his hurley and drove it from Joy's marsh back over the hill at Saundemount(?). The ball was

The owner of the Knock-na-Boola lands was Blennerhassett. The first man of this name came from bumbertland in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. His name was Richard. He married Elizabeth daughter of Captain Fenkins Conway who was a peanter during the Queens reign. He owned 5,200 acres of land around Killorglin and on to Caragh Lake. He lived in Killorglin in the old castle at the back of Mc Crohans store hence part of the town of Killorglin is called Castle Conway. The bounds was through the Square down Cnocan-na gCeao to the Laurne. He divided some of his property amongst his daughters who married 1. Kennedy, 2. De Molyns, 3. Rae. The old castle in which he lived can be seen yet. It was built about 1215 by the Geraloines. It was captures from them during the war of the Roses and is supposed to be owned by a most extraordinary man Gibin a Bonnan who us reputed as having captured and killed everybody who entered his castle by means of a trapbed which had a passage leading from it to the Laurne.

Maurice Quirke's backer won the wager, and promptly handed it over to the real winner.And yet another good story is told of this good man. In passing through Killorglin, Maurice Quirke was sure to get his capaillín well prepared for the long journey - it is 72 miles from Killorglin to Cork. His favourite blacksmith was Florence O'Sullivan (Flur Gaba) One day that M.Q. was passing, his pony well prepared by Flur Gaba, the adjourned to a near-by cab'airne and had a "drop" and away with him for the road - but not alone. His friend Flor Gabha stepped side by side with him until Owen - a garry was reached - a distance of three miles from Killorglin and there they entered a wayside inn and had another "drop" - and from there to Beaufort and from Beaufort to Killarney. To end this long story, Maurice Quirke and

There is a ruin of an old school in Ballykissane, about a mile from Killorglin. Mr. Leslie, a Protestant, was the teacher.

Killorglin, and the Cloughareen fair to Killarney. The fairs now a days are held in the towns. There is a fair field in every town. The fair field in Killarney is owned by Lord Kenmare and the one in Killorglin is owned by Gerald Foley, Anglont. Those who put the cattle into the fair field have to pay custom on every head of cattle. Custom is charged to pay the rent and rates for the fair field. When a person sells an animal it is the custom to give the rope or halter with it so that the luck would follow the animal. The cattle were marked with mud and sometimes with blue or red dye.

Some of the Caherciveen Fenians passed through here on the way to Killarney. They did not know the rising was not to take place. An old man (Tagney) from Gerahmeen who was taking fish to Killorglin (salmon) met them at Beaufort Bridge where they were awaiting instructions. The Captain asked him to take a message for him to Killorglin but on second thoughts they decided not as the man might be shot. They saw a messenger coming. He happened to be carrying dispatches from the opposite side. They shot his horse; got the information they wanted, & scattered. Some of them made for the sea where the procured boats and left Ireland.

He also evicted a good deal of people. He collected his rent also in Killorglin.

There are no fairs held in Glencar now. The people of Glencar bring their stock to the Killorglin fair. The Killorglin fair is held once a month. When the people have stock in the fair come in to the town the day before hand. The buyers come to the fair about five o'clock on the fair morning. They go around the town looking for the best cattle.
After the bargain is made the man who sold them put

at which everyone had to pay some money before they went in. This old fair was destroyed by a fair which was held on the previous day in Killorglin and although it is now held in Killorglin five miles away it is still called the Pattern Fair. The people of the district never worked on that day. The people of the district pay round to the old church on Good Friday and they say the rosary.
My father told me about this.

This village is so called because the monks had a mill on the bridge there. They ground the corn for themselves and the farmers. About a mile from this village there stands the ruins of a monastery. This monastery is said to have been built by the Normans. When Cromwell came his soldiers fixed their guns on the hill near by and blew it to pieces killing all the monks. Here St Mochada is said to have heard the monks sing when he was herding his pigs on the Sliabh Mish mountains near by. It is now a burying ground.
About three miles to the west of this village stands Killorglin. It is so called because a saint called Forgla had a little church there once. Through this town the river Laune flows, and the Danes are supposed to have sailed up this river and plundered Killorglin Castle which is now in ruins and also Ballymalis Castle in which a woolen industry was established.

A football match was played in the year 1890 between the teams of Ballymalis and Killorglin. The Ballymalis team called themselves the Sheehans, after Jermiah Sheehan, who was a member of Parliment and one of the Fenians. The Killorglin team were the Laune Rangers. There were twenty-one players in each team. The strongest and most able-bodied men of the district were chosen to play. The teams were both famous ones, and many people went to see the match. It took place in a field owned by Patrick Healy, of Coolroe. The Laune Rangers defeated the Sheehans by one goal and two points. The game was refereed by John Kennedy. The captain of the Laune Rangers was Daniel Murphy from Tullig. In the Ballymalis team, Dennis Scully was the goalman, and John Sullivan and Patrick Doyle were two of the best players. Patrick Doyle was badly hurt while playing, as he got a kick in the stomach. At that time players were permited to catch, or throw, or trip. A player could hold the ball as long as he liked, and another played could pull it from him. At that time the goals were in three divisions. There was one wide one in the middle, for the goals, and two narrower ones at each side for the

There are many legends regarding Puck Fair. One of these is that some enterprising inhabitants of Killorglin in the dim and distant past endeavoured to establish a fair and the only supply of stock was goats while others maintain that the only animal to put in an appearance was a solitary Puck from the mountain.Another legend is that when a party of Cromwell's soldiers made a raid into Kerry, the goats browsing on Carrantual were alarmed by the approach of the English soldiers whose arms glistened in the sun. They rushed down the hillside and ran wildly through the town of Killorglin. This unusual spectacle amused the people and being informed of the cause of it by their scouts who did not reach the town until some time after the goats -, they prepared to meet the enemy. Their stern resistance to the band of disciplined soldiers saved the town from destruction and so grateful were the inhabitants to the goats for giving warning of the danger that they decided to establish a fair at which ever since "King Puck" is the Presiding Figure beautifully decorated for the occasion.

There is a hill in Meanus near Killorglin which has a very peculiar shape like that of a cup turned upside down. It is called Cnocán Árd Dearg, and it is said that a woman carried it in her apron from Currens, and let it fall there. There is a hole in Currens from where it is said the hill was taken.
