    who was with her stole away and did not claim the cow at all and left her there.
    Con Looby from the parish of Newcastle and who was an old man when I was a boy told a story about Lisnamuck Fort when he was working at Hally's long ago.
    He was working in the field where the fort was and he noticed a hen used come out of the fort picking every day. He thought there might be a nest and eggs there and he searched the fort. There were no bushes in the fort and nothing that could hide her yet he did not see a trace of the hen anywhere. She came out again next day as usual. He searched the fort again but got no trace of her. He did not mind her after that.
