On Tuesday, I stopped at the Kinneigh Round Tower between Coppeen and Enniskeane. I was taken with this headstone that I spotted – not being well familiar with the grandchildren of Brian Boru or the origin of the ‘O’Mahony’ name. I have mentally files away under ‘to find out more’ but so far the web has revealed that Donal O’Mahony, ‘O’Mahony Mór’‘Cianach Mór’ had an open house for the playing of traditional music. Another grandson was Chief O’Neill – whose memorial is at Trailbane. I think that book on Chief O’Neill may be moving towards top of the pile. |
