MacCahir Og......like, generic. Cahir, perhaps Irish for general walled town, correct me if my Irish is rusty. I keep hearing that the air itself dates back to 1580, the time of the battle of Glenmalure. Now, not a musician, is 'air' just the tune portion. Did McCall set down words to paper that had already been sort of attached to the song? Also, great explanations about the battle. It is said, that the massacre at Dun An Oir, in Dingle in October of the same year was retribution, anyt thoughts? Grey's forces here killed, beheaded, 600 Italians and Spaniards who had surrendered seeking terms. We went there this summer, saw the monument, all in irish, spooky place. Call it the field of heads, so they do.
