1 A legend said that when the Milesians invaded Ireland, Donn was wrecked on this rock, thence 

 named liis house, " Teach dhoinn." (" Irish Names of Places," Dr. P. W. Joyce, ed. 1895, Ser. i., 

 chap, iv, p. 165). Another legend tells how Cairbre Muse had two sons hy Duben, his mother. 

 Nature avenged tlie outrage, the crops failed everywhere, so the nohles ordered the children to be 

 burned. A druid saved one, whom he washed and put on a red cow's back. After a year the sin 

 entered into the cow, and she swam out to sea and became the rock called from her Bo-hui (Leabhar 

 na huidhre, 54 a, and Book of Leinster). See note in O'Curry's " Magh Leana," p. 28. The name 

 bui ill the maps is interesting as a pure Irish form, most of the others being recast.
