  1. Tobar Rí-Mháile

    Share Share Post
    A man was ploughing on brink of the well (Tobar Rí-Mháile). He looked around him when one horse was failing, and saw another horse grazing in a field near by. "I'll put this one in for a while of the day." He ploughed until dinner-time. He took his own horse home and fed him. He turned the other horse away. After dinner he began working again. They were working close to the spring well, the horse dashed into the well and dragged man, horse, plough etc into the well, never were seen since.
