Knocks spots off Leopard’s Hill farm

The name sounds exotic. Leopard’s Hill conjures up a slight incline on the African savannah, rather than an Irish townland.

However, it’s likely that the Glenville, Co Cork area which bears the name is more likely derived from the Irish word for leper, lobhar, which is common throughout the country (like Tallaght, which is understood to mean a place of plague).

However, buyers for the 66-acre farm currently on the market with Dan Fleming are not likely to be put off by attributions of pestilence, and instead, will see a decent add-on to existing holdings, or even, a small holding to buy.
