  1. A man was coming from Aughagower some years ago. As he came along he heard lovely music inside the wall. It was like a person playing a fiddle and other musical instruments. When he would stand to listen it would stop and when he would start to walk it would start again. He looked in across the wall where he thought the music was and he could not see anything.
