Ní don áit thuas a thagraíonn Knocknamuck (AL: Dep., Dep. IV 96, anno 1642) ach is le ceantar eile ar fad (bar. Kinalmeaky, p. Ballymodan, SO 96, 109, 110) sa chontae céanna a luaitear é. In ainneoin nach luaitear Knocknamuck sa ghiota seo a leanas, tuigtear go ndeachaigh róchomóntacht na muc sa cheantar seo trí chéile i bhfeidhm ar an údar: Hogs are kept in such numbers that the little towns and villages swarm with them; pigs and children bask and roll about, and often resemble one another so much, that it is necessary to look twice before the human face divine is consessed. I believe there are more pigs in Mitchelstown than human beings, and yet propagation is the only trade that flourished here for ages. (Young’s Tour 1778 II 275) AL: OC; OD
