Slieve Nacally
There is an eminence in the townland of Knocklough called Slieve Guillion, and a rude stone chair on the summit of Slieve Nacally called Cathaoir na Caillighe Béurtha It is a large stone about 2 tons weight, ornamented with a cross sunk (cut) into the seat of the chair, in which three might sit together. This hollow seems to have been made in the stone with a hammer; the cross is probably the work of a modern stone-cutter. The back of this chair was broken by some human enemy to old Evlin.
