    Near my house is the ruins of a very old monastery. The land around it at present is owned by Miss Dempsey. She owns a field called the Moatefield, which is about 300 yards from the house. There is a hill in the field. The hill is almost circular, and you can see the trench which was one time around it. In the centre of the hill there is a hollow. If you dig in the hollow you would come to a passage underneath the ground, going across to Mahons.
