- This hill is about one mile from the village of Glanworth and on the road to Fermoy.
The Hag was an old witch.
She was married to a man whose name was Jack.
The two of them were very fond of the pipe.
They could hand the pipe to one another from the Suidcáin mountain to Labacally hill.
One time the husband refused to hand the pipe to the Hag and she was so vexed that she threw a big stone at him and killed him on Labacally hill.
The stone rested on the banks of the river Funcheon in the year 1838.
It is still known as the Hag's bed.- Collector
