  1. One day a man went to sell a horse and on the way to the fair a huntsman stopped him and asked him to sell the horse to him.
    Then the huntsman brought him into a mound. There he saw a horn on a table and a lot of horsemen asleep riding around it The huntsman took the horn and blew it. The horsemen wakened. Then he payed the man for the horse and let him go.
    The mound is near the Black Road which is situated in the townland of Rosetown in the barony of Ardee.
