    better and when Conal Maol went for the third drink the Devil met him and told him that Ferdia was too great with his (Conal Maol’s) wife and then Conal believed it and did not bring him the drink, so that Ferdia died in agony. The old men had a song or a caoine that Conal composed about his friend and comrade whom he let die through his jealousy. It is a pity that Conal’s caoine or lament is lost now as I was going to remember it.
    The woods were cut down about 70 years ago and there were lots of stories about the Pooka Daunt who built Gortigrenane House and haunted the place.
    It is curious that the well mentioned in the legend is marked on the present day ordnance map as a holy well but the people around never regarded it as a holy well in the ordinary sense but as an enchanted well. It is not in use now as there are no houses near since a family named Jeffers who lived above it died out about 50 years ago and the house was levelled down.
