 The name Slievenamuck (Mountain of the Pigs) is derived from the legendary slaying of a sow by Fionn Mac Cumhaill. The sow, called Beo, had devastated much of Munster. Fionn had a pair of spears forged locally and killed the sow. He then took the sow's head as a bridal gift to Cruithne the smith's daughter. On the summit of the Ridge are two Megalithic Tombs, styled "Dermot and Grainne's Beds". The legendary pair are said to have rested here in their flight from the angry Fionn.
HISTORY OF AHERLOW HOUSE
 Aherlow House was built c.1928 by Robert Massy Dawson Saunders to replace the landlord's residence at Ballinacourty House, which was destroyed by fire in 1922 during the Civil War. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton, who ran a private guesthouse until the late 1940's, and who subsequently, modernized it. After that, it was the Muller family owned it, until the Donovan-Kavanagh-Keily Company developed it as a luxurious hotel in the 1970's. Since then it has been partially rebuilt and greatly extended. Today it is a unique, charming old world property, offering personalised service and the opportunity for fine dining, or just a quiet drink by an open fire. In 1999 to further enhance the location, 14 self-catering Lodges were built within the grounds of the Hotel. Ferghal & Helen Purcell purchased the hotel in 2002. It is the first time in the history of the property as a hotel to be owner managed.
 Situated in its own private woodlands on the slopes of "Sliabh na Muc", Aherlow House Hotel & Lodges offer a magnificent view of the Galtee Mountains and the famous Glen of Aherlow. It is close to some of Ireland's most famous tourist attractions such as Cahir Castle. The Swiss Cottage, Holy Cross-Abbey and The Rock of Cashel. Aherlow House Hotel is a favorite location for weddings with its breadth-taking scenery and its ballroom catering for up to 250 wedding guests.
