    Lynally is about four miles from Tullamore...

    Lynally is about four miles from Tullamore. St Colman Clo was the St of Lynally. He built a monastery there and there was a round tower about one hundred yards from the monastery and there was a tunnel leading from the monastery to the round tower. When the enemy came the monks went over to the round tower through the tunnel. There is an old graveyard there and there is a moat there also. There is money and precious articles supposed to be at the moat and a black cat minding them and there is a life lost before the money can be got.
