GLENCORP
Glen of the bodies/ Glen of the dead
This small gentle glen with its small hill farms and numerous slopes runs South to North from Glenann merging into Glendun.
Hedges bursting with fuchsia and honeysuckle send a beautiful perfume on its little narrow roads.
Oats, potatoes and flax used to be grown and sheep grazed on the hillsides and cattle on the lower fields. Hay was harvested in the meadows along the valley bottom. Milk was sent to Rathkenny creamery .
Traces of early man can be seen on the hillsides. In the townland of Falnaglass there is a mound always referred to as 'The Fort' but identified, a few years ago, by an archaeologist as a Bronze Age barrow burial mound dating from ca. 2500 - 500 BC. There are remains of defended early Christian farmsteads (raths) in the townlands of Laney (Gortin) and Tromra.
The Fairy hill on the east slope of Glencorp is called Tieveragh famous for the home of the fairies or the "little folk" who are said to emerge in processions at the last day of April (May eve) and are only seen by believers .............
