  1. There are many of (of) these old Cashels and duns to be found in my locality. There is one in Letterilly, Stranaglough, Drum-na-silleach and Kilraine. There was an old fort in Kilraine and three men went out to dig it. When they went down a piece they saw a big stone. They made an attempt to take up the stone and they were left lying on their backs. When they rose up the hole was covered in the same way as when they started it.
