Killeigh
Killeigh (Irish: Cill Aichidh, meaning "church of the field") is a village in County Offaly, Ireland. It is located around 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of the county town of Tullamore, on the N80 national secondary road; the Slieve Bloom Mountains lie a similar distance further south.
Killeigh was the birthplace of racing greyhound 'Mick the Miller', and a statue has been placed on the village green to commemorate this dog.
