   My uncle Jim Kennelly Knockanure Newtowesands said that he was missing a cow in a fort in his land. He was searching for him for days and nights but could not find him. One evening he said he would go looking for him again. So he went up to the fort to look for her. He was searching a while for her and could not find her.
   After a while a fairy woman appeared to him. My uncle asked know did she see a cow. She said nothing but asked him for a match. My uncle gave her a match and asked her where she was going. She said she had to reach Cork City before night. The fairy woman disappeared and when my uncle looked around him he saw the cow long-side him.
