In this Parish is situated the mountain of Sliabh Mis, which is celebrated by Keating and other more ancient Irish writers as the scene of the first battle between the Milesians and Tuatha De Dananns. The anonymous author of a tract on the topography and history of the Co. of Kerry preserved in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy states that this mountain received it’s name from “a distracted woman of great strength and activity called Mis na Dairi, who proved a great enemy and hindrance to passengers in this mountain during her reign of it.” The Four Masters style it the Mountain of the Lady Mis, the daughter of Muiredh the son of Cuireadh but do not mention the period at which she flourished.
