   When Captain Jackson lived in Fanningstown castle my grandfather was living below there. The captain wanted to square the estate and so he gave my grandfather another bit of land where we are now and put him out of where he was. Just before he left the old place, the horse he had, died. He went to bury the horse near the fence you see below at the hump in the field. When they were making the hole for the horse what did they come on but a set of stone steps running out of the hump.
