- Up in the mountain near Paddy Cotters there is a very old stone bed and it is called Leaba Oscair. The very old people fifty and sixty years old say that there was a passage from the cave over to Glenosheen under the mountain.
It is not to be scene now at all the eart fell into it and covered it all up. David Roach wint into it when he when was a very small boy.
We have a picture of Leaba Oscair here in the school taken by our school teacher Mr. Hannon. During the holidays a lot of boys went up to see it. It is a very beautiful scene.
