- (continued from previous page)Tá gclocha thíos i bpáirc Uí Chatháin agus ta sé cinn díobh in a seasamh díreach agus ceann mó cruinn ar a mbárr agus deirtear go bhfuil taosaigh curtha futha ach ní féidir a rádh go dearbhtha cathain a cuireadh iad, ach deirtear gur le linn na loclannach a h-usáideadh e. There is a heap of stones inside a wall between Grallach and Cill an tSoisgéal and any one who passed was supposed to throw in a stone. One night a man was passing and did not throw in the stone and before he had gone ten yards he was overturned. It was said that he was frightened by a ghost of the dead whom he insulted by not throwing in a stone.Ever since the people throw in the stones, for fear the same thing would happen them.
