There are a few small plantations on the Hill side and the remainder is for the most part under Cultivation. It is supposed by some that a battle was fought on this Hill between the Romans and Natives and although one or two [may] be found who will point out the site of the battle still the greater portion of the population says the never heard of any such thing as a battle being fought here. |

[Note]
All persons of whom I enquired concerning this name
state that Irongath Hills, and Glourour'em are names
applying to the same object. It is also known as Bonnytoun
Hill, but they all agree in saying that Irongath Hills
is the proper name.
