    (The Garrawig Mhic Bolg)
    When the Garrawog's body was blown into 4 quarters
    1/4 went into lake beside it (Tierworker)
    1/4 in hollow of Plantation
    The two remaining quarters in other directions nearby.
    She (The Garrawog - the Cailleach Gargan) was riding behind a man on a horse. She asked the man to give her blackberries. She ate them fasting, and then swallowed everything she met.
    (See legend of the Cailleach Gargan.)
