It was on the very top of Benbulbin Díarmuid was killed by the wild boar. It is said that Finn could have cured him with the water in the hollow of his hand but refused on account of how Díarmuid brought away Gráine from him years before that.Behind the rock for miles stretches a great expanse of bog while on the bray and sides hundreds of sheep graze.Brighid Nic Fhearadhaigh, Rathfrasc- Collector
