[Cuchullin's House]
"This is said to be the House of the great Irish giant Cue O'Chollin. It is on the summit of the Mountain called Bin-O Schee and nothing now remains but a great heap of stones... It is also said that he was intered on the same mountain a short distance west of this. I searched but could find nothing sepulchral in it." [Descr. Rem.]
