    There was a girl living beyond on Crag Hill named "Island of Crag". She was able to foretell things. One day Brian Boru came to her and asked her who would win the Battle of Clontarf and she said that your army would wint it but you would loose a lot of brave men. She gave him a cloak and told him to wear it and he wouldn't be killed. Brian Boru's army won the battle and they lost a lot of brave men.
