Cnoc na miol?
The mountain stream called Fionnghaise (This stream should be named Finglas on the Ordnance Map) by Keating in the legend of Curoi and Blanaid runs through this glen and close by this grave of Scota. A local legend states that Scota was killed here in as she attempted to leap across the glen while pregnant and that she was interred beneath this enormous flag. This glen is not very wide and it is stated that Scota mother of the Milesians was in the habit of leaping across it from Cnoc na miol to Cnoc na ndamh.
