    The Vision in Glynsk - Gallinakill
    The children used to attend school in this graveyard. This day the teacher didn't turn up as the day was dull. The scholars waited and saw a man with a red cap gowing around the church yard and reading the incriptions on the stones. There's an underground passage from that school to Ballintuber and it could be seen in the old ruins near the monument of Liam Burck.
    (Glynsk is 5 miles from this school). The monument is there yet sword in hand and incription.
