[5] Although the summit is in fact marked by a cairn, called Doocarn, it is likely that the name's original meaning is "mountain of birch".

The priest hunter was assassinated soon afterwards near Emyvale by local rapparee leader and folk hero Shane Bernagh.

The same source also alleges that Shane Bernagh, after learning almost immediately afterwards of the priest's murder while in hiding nearby, "swore that he would have a Yeoman's life for this".

Bernagh and his band of rapparees are then alleged to have ambushed the Yeomanry during their return to barracks, killed one of them, and thrown the body into Lough More.
