John Greene presenter of the ‘Where the road takes me’ programme on our local radio station C103, has recorded a feature on the local landmark “King Mahon’s Rock”, which includes amongst others interviews with Kilcorney and Millstreet people.
King Mahon’s Rock is where Brian Boru’s older brother King Mahon was killed in 975 AD, which led to Brian Boru becoming King of Munster, and later High King of Ireland. A monument is to be unveiled at the spot this year for the 1,000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf.
King Mahon’s Rock is located on the side of Mushera, near the highest point of the Butter Road to Cork from Millstreet.
The programme goes to air next Sunday April 6th at 7pm, on C103 FM, and can also be heard online at c103.ie
