“In Cromwell's comand in Ireland he worked cruel tyranny.”
In Cromwell's command in Ireland he worked cruel tyranny. When he came to Connaught he passed Sliabh-An-Iarann and he went to a hole in this mountain called "polty". He ordered his men to gather the people from miles around and he threw these into this bottomless hole. It is supposed that there is a serpent in it.
