“Do you know where the cottage is at the butt of the Hill of Kellystown?”
Well there is an ould Garrigeen to the right there, and a man name Mr. Nolan was coming home one night and he heard horses coming up the hill galloping like the devil. He kept in and only for his mother- she was dead - his head would be cut off him
His mother stood beside him, and held her arm over his head and every horse jumped clane over her arm, and every horseman made a belt of his stick at him, and his mother warded off every stroke with her arm.
