Hurling in Cahermore

Killomoran, co Galway
Old Irish Tales

When Cumhal and the Fianna were hurling in Cahermore turlough in the Parish of Kinvara Co Galway, his wife had the little boy on the side lines watching the game. During the game the little fellow getting interested in the game rushed in and hit the ball, the shot was so accurate that Cumhal said “Cé hé an páisdín Fionn”? His mother rushed in for him and said “You have now got your name so he was called Finn.”
Diarmuid and Grainne’s Bed is in Crannagh, Gort, Galway. Whey they were fleeing from Finn they are said to have put up these huge stones.
