- A long time ago a man named Seán Ryan lived near Ennis. One night he heard a great noise in a field at the back of his house where he had some cattle. Going out he saw a crowd of men riding. ONe of them asked him to with them. Sean agreed. The man struck one of the cattle in the field with a rod. At once it changed into a beautifull horse. The men then told Seán that they were going to Leinster for gold that was buried there. Then they all rode towards the Shannon.
