The place where the battle took place is known as Cullina and Shanagarry. Lights are often seen where the battle took place. I saw the lights. They were like lights of motor bicycles dancing in the air while more ran along the ground. I watched them for mostly a half an hour. After a while they went away and I never saw them since. Some people say it is "Jackie the lantern" but I think it is the ghosts of the defeated Kerry men haunting the place where they were defeated.- Collector
