Cillín Liath
Tá gallán curtha i ngiorracht don scoil i gcuimhne ar fear dárbh ainm Liath Dearg.
Tá cros sa lár agus ogham ar freisin. Sin sean-stíl scríbhneoireachta na Ceiltigh. Deirtear cur thóg Liath Dearg séipéal in aice leis an gallán.
Deirtear freisin gur in aice leis an ngallán a chuireadh páistí nách raibh baistithe. Glaotar Ceallúnaigh ar na reilig seo agus tá siad le fáil ar cósta thiar na hÉireann, le cúpla céad i gCíarraí Theas amháin!
Thosnaigh an scríbhneoireacht ogham sa Bhreatain Bheag agus thug daoine ar a nglaotar 'na Déisigh' é go hÉireann. Chuir na Déisigh futhu i gContae Port Láirge.

There's a standing stone not far from our school, Cillín Liath, in memory of a man called Liath Dearg.
It has a cross right in the centre of it and old ogham writing. It is said that this man Liath Dearg built a church near the stone.
It is also said that unbaptised babies were buried in a graveyard beside the stone. These graveyards are known as 'Ceallúnaigh', and are found all along the west coast of Ireland, with hundreds in South West Kerry alone.
The old ogham writing on the stone originated in South Wales and was invented by a people called the Déisigh, who later lived around County Waterford.
