    Phil Olwill of Shankill near Cavan town was coming home late from ploughing. When he was coming through a particular field he heard voices saying "Get me a horse" & says Phil "get me one too".
    Before he knew it he was on a horse & when morning came he found himself on top of Carrickateance rock.
