   A Monument There is an old monument in Glenagivney. It is called Kinego Monument. It is said that a great man was buried there in olden times and that that is a mark to let every one see that someone is buried there. There is one large stone standing with a little pile of others. No one would trod upon it or interfere with it in any way. So it is there for years and the place would not be noticed if there was no monument on it.
