- A Story
A man went out ploughing a field in which there was a lios or fort in Ballybacon. The next morning he was right stiff with pains. He could not move his hands or feet. Some man told him he would get all right if he would send his men out to the lios to turn back all the sods he had ploughed. When they had done this the man got all right again. Others say
when the man came out from his dinner all the sods he had ploughed were turned back again.
