Transcriber's notes
Exact name of this hill is disputable. Was originally written Càrn Ailleann, and the note following the description refers to this name but the translation is hard to read and doesn't appear to match the meaning [Ailleann means light]. Then it has been corrected to Cairn Aluinn.
