   To the west of the village of Fews is the Black Mountain called the Mountain of Móin a' Mhullaigh, a name meaning Bog of the Summit. The people here say it is not part of the Comeragh Mountains, but there can be little doubt, however, that it was originally included in that range of mountains.

   Names derived from timber and shrubbery abound in this neighbourhood, indicating the former presence here of extensive forests. The region was probably portion of the Forest of Decies.

   The people of this parish were noted, a hundred years ago, for their pretensions, a trait which gave rise to the sarcastic allusion of a local poet "Uaisle bochta, daoine Paróiste na bhFiodh".
