- (continued from previous page)The little man asked him to let him go and for the two of them to wrestle. If it was the Leiprechan won the man would have to go with him and if the man won the Leiprecan would have to show him where the pot of Gold was hidden. He often was known to help men who were in trouble and he was often known to cause misfortune to come on other people.
- There is an old ruin in Kilclare. It is the ruin of an old church. There is a big pillar standing up in the air and there are large stones raised up in the yard. There are Latin letters cut in these stones. There is one stone with the picture of Saint Patrick cut on it.
