    There was a woman there long ago who was living very bad.

    There was a woman there long ago who was living very bad. She lived in Barnagh in the parish of Templeglantine she died and she was damned. She came back after her death but no one saw her only she used to rob them and kill them, beating them coming home from town and fairs on the road way. She held up the workmen and they had to leave their work. So in the end they brought the priest and he put her away. He gave her some work so he thought she would come back no more. When she was finished after years she came back again and he gave her a job that she will never finish draining the sea with a bottomless tub.
