“There is a river flowing through the parish of Glendine near Youghal, Co. Cork.”
(continued from previous page)The older residents recognise the [?s] at the least change.
Another means that the people in that locality have for knowing when rain is coming is the roaring of the [sluice?] at Youghal. The train also from Cork to Youghal is extra loud if rain is near.
Other places already mentioned near the Glendine river are Poll na [?] and [??]. Another still is somewhere [near?] the church. It is a kind of cup or bowl formed by rocks into which the water flows and then overflows on its [?]. It is said that if you look into it when the water is in some special way you would be lucky and get your wish.
