Famed Sliabh Luachra fiddler and teacher Padraig O'Keeffe (1887-1963) played the tune in a medley with "Gleanntán Frolics (2)" and "Hare in the Corn (4) (The)." The tune title honors Glountane Cross (Gleanntán), the birthplace of O'Keeffe, located in County Kerry in the townland of Knockdown, Cordal.
