    There was a man long ago. His name was Coill Mór or (big) Big Quile. My grandfather said that he was able to plough like a horse. My grandfather opened drills and he pulled the plough. Big Quile was able to throw a weight of four stone sixty feet. Other strong men used to compete against him but they could not beat him.
