Meelin
Meelin () is a village in northern County Cork, barony of Duhallow, Ireland. The village is near the border with County Limerick and County Kerry. At above sea level, Meelin is the highest village in Ireland, although Glencullen in County Dublin also claims to be the highest at about . ==History== Fulacht fiadh's are found in Meelin and around the Duhallow area. There is also a 4,000-year-old burial mound in the village. In the early 20th century quarries were set up in the village and employed over 100 people. But in the 1920s quarrying started to slow down and by 1964 it had stopped altogether. In 1963, English geologist William Morton carried out a survey of the limestone area around the village and assumed there might be oil deep in the rocks. After three oil companies drilled over 5,000 feet into the rocks, no oil or gas was found.
