Colp near Drogheda. According to an ancient legend, when the Milesian brothers invaded Ireland, one of them, Colpa the swordsman, was drowned at the mouth of the Boyne; hence it was called Inver-Colpa, Colpa's river mouth; and the parish of Colp, on its southern bank, retains the latter part of the name a little shortened.
