    (continued from previous page)
    while this friar got his book at Aleck's Brae [that is the brae you meet immediately after crossing the County Bridge at Mac Finns]. It is also said that there was a tunnel leading from the Diamond to the back of the present Protestant Church in Clones. There was a treasure hid in this tunnel - a bell and anything that went into the tunnel never came out - so this bell will never be taken out now. It is also said that a hound followed a hare into this tunnel and neither of them ever came out again ever after that. It is also said that a stone drops off the ruins of the monastery every year and this is time for this can be seen and it can also be seen that as a result of this the abbey is getting lower.
