    A few years ago Martin Neill of Killenaugh cut a bush in Clavins fort. When dragging it home, it began to emit unearthly noises & screeches. He ran back with it and put it back to where it was. the noises then stopped, but when he was leaving the fort, a huge Pooka stood out in the middle of the fort and shouted: - "Neill you scounderl, don't come here again". Ever since, Neill wouldn't go within an asses roar of Clavin's fort
