    on the little hills of Kilbreedy.
    He told all his neighbours about the coming event, and how the Limerick fairies had him asked to fight with them in their battles, and to fire a shot at the Clare fairies, as soon as they would come over from Clare across the Shannon.
    On the day the battle was to take place, he waited on Kilbreedy hill with the Limerick fairies. As soon as the Clare fairies came, a fierce battle was fought. Sheahan fired a shot and the Limerick fairies were victorious.
