One day he met an English soldier in Trallee Sports-field and after running the mile with him the soldier heaved up his heart's blood and died.
Shone Burns of Abbeyfeale was a gifted man, he had no ribs but all one sheet of flesh, he rose a boulder of limestone to his horses and he also pulled a but of limestone and a sulking horse up the side of a hill.- Collector
