  1. Another time there lived a man in the town land of Loughiasg who had a well of water at the butt of a spink. It was very difficult to get to the well and he made it easier by making steps down the side of the spink. It was said that there was dancing and singing and great music going on here each night. But this man took sick and died before next morning.
