...the fine hill half a mile east of Ardachadh, partly included in the modern townland of Cross...and partly in the adjoining townland which bears the modern degenerate name of “Back of the Hill” – the “hill” of this name being Ard Naoscan itself. This hill is over 400 feet high, and has a large rath on top. [Tagairtí den gcnoc seo leis in Onom. Goed.]
