    (continued from previous page)
    summer Fionn and his men spent their time hunting and fishing. They had hunting dogs of such great size and strength that they would pull down a deer or a fierce boar. Fionn's dogs were large and finer than any in Ireland. At certain spots known to the knights round pits had been dug. Each pit was paved with stones and they had a low wall around it. And these hollows served as ovens or cooking-places.
