The mountains are the mythical home of hurling as told in the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Cattle Raid of Cooley), when Sétanta traveled through the mountains hitting his sliothar (ball) before him on his way to Emain Macha.

This feat is re-enacted every year in the All-Ireland Poc Fada Championship which takes place on Annaverna Mountain.
