    the old cave. A black sheep came out of this cave and grazed on Gorman's land having lambs each year. Mr Gorman was going to kill one of the lambs for Michaelmas night. When he went out to catch one of them the mother of the flock bleated three times and she ran and she ran into the cave and her flock after her. And she never came back again.
