Road to Mons Jig

Road to Mons

“A junction where the Road from Cill Na Martra joins the main Cork -Killarney road (N22) is known locally as “The Mons”.  I am not sure how it got that name but I think it might have something to do with the “Battle Of Mons” which took place during the first world war.”

An Bóthar go dtí Mons

“Go háitiúil, tugtar ‘An Mons’ ar áit áirithe ar an mbóthar as Cill na Martra, san áit a shroicheann sé príomh-bhóthar Chorcaí agus Cill Airne (N22).  Nílim siúráilte conas mar a tugadh an t-ainm sin ar an áit, ach measaim go bhfuil baint aige leis an gcéad chogadh domhanda agus ‘Cath Mons’.”
