_Aghakilconnel Lough._--Three iron pots, one of them triangular in form, were found on this site. _Lough MacHugh_ contained two crannogs; one measured seventy-four feet by one hundred and eighteen feet. _Cloonbo_ and _Cloonturk Loughs_ had each two sites. _Cloonfinnan_, _Cloonboniagh_, _Castlefore_, and _Funshinagh Loughs_, each contained a crannog. _Crannog Island._--No account is given of this site. _Manorhamilton._--A crannog, a canoe paddle, and other articles were discovered not far from this village.[261] _Muinter Eolius._--A crannog in this district is mentioned in the Irish Annals (_ante_, p. 152). COUNTY SLIGO. _Glencar_ lake, situated between the counties of Sligo and Leitrim, is embosomed in mountains; to the north lies the Ben-Bulben range, and to the south the Castlegal range with bold precipitous sides, its grey limestone cliffs resembling ancient weather-beaten fortifications, and its slopes in parts clothed with plantations of fir. The rain that falls on the summits of the Ben-Bulben range descends to the vale in numerous streamlets, which, after a continuance of wet weather, appear when viewed from a distance like streaks of silver. Some form waterfalls of more or less magnitude, of which one is called in Irish _Sruth-an-ail-an-ard_, or the stream against the height; because in this instance, when the wind blows from a certain point, the ordinary laws of hydrology seem to be reversed, and the water, instead of falling, is either driven upwards and back against the mountain, or it is blown outwards in a sheet of spray, like a pennant. Ben-Bulben, or Ben-Gulban, _Gulban’s Peak_, is said to be so named from Gulban, son of Nial of the Nine Hostages, who was fostered near it. Gulban was ancestor of the O’Donnells, who, through this mountain gorge, frequently poured their forces into Sligo. In the year 1595 O’Donnell, when pursued by Bingham, retired to this valley, in full confidence that the wary Saxon would not attempt to follow him through the narrow and difficult defile, and in 1597, the same chief encamped in the immediate vicinity of the eastern crannog. So late as 1609, in a curious old map of the county, the valley of Glencar and the slopes of Ben-Bulben are delineated as covered with wood, and the following quaintly-worded information is appended:--“Ye high hills of Ben-Bulben, where yearly timbereth a falcon esteemed the hardiest in Ireland.” The locality is still the _habitat_ of the peregrine falcon.
