    An Glas Gaibneach
    This fair cow visited Cordal regularly for a number of years. She belonged to nobody, and usually made her appearance in Horans field in the townland of Cumangh. Several people milked her during the day and she never seemed to be milked. She had plenty for everybody till a spiteful old woman milked her into a sieve when she disappeared from the district.
    She was know to visit a farm in Baunvariscal also. Baunvariscal is about three miles due west of Castleisland on the road to Tralee.
    The story of the Glas Gaibneach is one of the most popular traditions in the parish.
