"Pinkman: Tul-an-Thomhail = Hill of the feasting. Tómhal, it is O’Donovan’s word – appears to be a local form of tómhalt, eating or feast. The name may have originated from some legends about the carousings of the fairies or from some stories of the Fianna Éireann. This may have been one of their hills for resting and feastin (see Seefin). "
