- (continued from previous page)people named the strand Crann na gCapall - in English, The Horses Tree. So that is how Crann na gCapall got its name.
- Oileán Táin, or the Island of the Cattle is not exactly an island as it is bounded only on three sides by water. It is about a mile west from here. Long ago a rich man owned all the land around Oileán Táin. He owned a lot of cattle and when he wanted to bring some of them to the fair he used to gather them on that island in order to select those which he wanted to take with him to the fair. That is why it was called Oileán Táin.
