    It is a heap of stones built circular and there are letters on one of the stones which cannot be made out. It is believed that this has some connection with the old Clan of O'Donnels.
    On Cornas long ago there was a white circular flag seen. One day, some men were looking for sheep on that mountain. One of the men seen it. He came over to it and looked under it. Under it, he saw the shining diamonts. When the rest saw this, they all ran to it and in the end all the man and women of the parish came and carried away bags of it. If there were a sharp end on it it would cut glass. There is another monument here called "Kellegher's Monument" This is a stone that was left over the place where this man was got dead on the mountain.
