The area of Sliabh gCua (Touraneena) nestling in the valley between the Comeragh and Knockmealdowns mountain ranges, was famous in the mid-18th century for its poetry court, or cuirt filiochta. A leading light in these was the almost legendary figure of Donncha Rua Mac Namara (1715-1810).
Later the spirit and excitement of these gatherings was brought into modern times through the work of a whole series of notable Gaelic scholars.
There was Donal O Fearachair (1852-1929), Padraig O Mileadha (1877-1947) and Padraig O Fiannusa (1914-1990). Moreover, Padraig O Cadhla (18751948), in helping to found Ring College, played a major part in ensuring that Deise Irish is alive and being spoken today (Sliabh gCua) was an Irish-speaking area until the late 19th century.
Hospitality is the hallmark of this special area, as the late Ciaran Mac Mathuna recalled on his Sunday morning RTE Radio programme, there is an ancient saying: "Tooraneena, mar a liontar an ghloine" (Tooraneena, where they fill the glass).
Just 3km up the road are the ruins of the medieval Knockboy Church containing 6 Ogham Stones.
