Labby
"Gaibhlen .... kept his forge in the townland of Labby. He was a good and hospitable man and possessed a cow that gave as much milk as he pleased, but she was enchanted and should always minded, or she would go away herself, or be stolen. There was a halter round her head, which the person who minded her held in his hand while she grazed. ....The place where she lay at night is called to this day Leabaidh na Glaise i.e. the bed of the Glas or Green cow....and the place where she calved is called Gleann Gamhna (= Glengomna Do 40) OSL Letters Derry p.265
