- (continued from previous page)had about then acres of land and in one of the fields there was a very big cairn. That field was a very good tillage field and the cairn was annoying them. One morning two men set out to take away the stones.
About three O Clock they had the stones cleared away and then they went home. Next morning Michael Grennan went out to plough the field. When he reached the field he saw that the stones were back again. He took some of the stones and he threw them into the river. He ploughed all day and when night was approaching he went home.
Next morning he came to the field and when he came into the field he recognised that the plough was gone. He went over to the place where he left the plough but he did not see any tracks. He never got any trace of the plough after that(continues on next page)
