Transcribed from the above story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conall Cearnach was one of the Red Branch Knights who lived in Ulster. He was a cousin of Cuculain, Cuculain also was one of the Red Branch Knights. Ulster at that time at war with Connacht. There was great enmity between the two provinces. In Conall’s older age he visited Connacht by the invitation of Queen Meadb. Queen Meadb was the Queen of Connacht. By the treachery of Queen Meadb she got her husband Ailill killed. When the deed was done she left it on Conall. Conall fled for his life out of the place. He was going towards Ulster. He was as a far as Ballyconnell when three villians overtook him called the Ruadhcoins. They killed Conall at Ballyconnell. He was buried at Ballyheady. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is how Ballyconnell got it’s name. A few years ago a skeleton was found at Ballyheady the people said that it was the bones of Conall Cernach. Ballyconnell was at first called Ath na Mianna. Conalls son was called Miamn. He engineered the building of thr Black Pig Dyke was made to help the Connacht men from coming into Ulster. At that time Connacht was the strongest of the four provinces.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
