That’s a great view OP. It would do the mind and heart good to see from time to time.
For anyone outside of Ireland, the non-colonial name of this place is Cill Orglan, meaning Orgla's Church. You can read an interesting article about deciphering colonial place names in Ireland here: https://letslearnirish.com/articles/irish-placenames1/
