    A Story.
    Very long ago there lived a King and Queen on the top of Cnoc Greine. The Queen was possessed by devils . One occasion the O'Connells defeated her and wounded her.
    While wounded she was unable to use her power.
    When she was healed of her wounds she changed the O'Connells into badgers.
    On one occasion as she was visiting her husband's palace, one of the O'Connells entered.
    When she returned and saw the badger she got frightened and died.
    After her death the O'Connells were free and they took possession of the palace.
    This story was told to me by my Grand Aunt.
