“In the hill of Ballivaskin there are huge stone walls...”
(continued from previous page)poor just as the people are to day.
The druid took no notice of any of them.
At last a poor looking pair arrived and the Druid made a sign to come hither.
He stood up from his own chair and seated both of them on it.
The prince asked the Druid why he gave his seat to this pair and did not take any notice of the other.
That was the custom when the Druid did anything which the Prince did not understand.
The Druid answered in presence of the assembly and said "In this woman's womb is a child who will preach to the people of Corca Baiscinn and baptise them" and in this way he foretold the coming of Saint Senan.
