    There is a lios in William Kent's farm in Bawnard (Castlelyons, Co. Cork) and another in Ballyroberts on Dr. Cronin's land. Both lioses are connected. There are three rings around the lios in Ballyroberts. Music and dancing used be heard long ago in Dr. Cronin's lios. One day a man was digging a flower bed in Dr. Cronins garden when a small little man ran out from under a plant and ran as fast as he could towards the lios. He disappeared down through the lios but the man who was digging couldn't see what part of it he went down through. That night there was great music heard coming out of the lios.
