The horse went off and was never heard of again. Oisín remained in the district for some time. It is said that he helped Saint Patrick to build a small Church in Elphin by drawing timber to it. Saint Patrick converted him to the true faith and he died in the district.
   (2) One time a Scottish giant came to Fionn when he was encamping in "sliat in iarann" mountain. The Scottish giant challenged him to a bout in stone-throwing. The giant raised a great stone and with great force heaved it across the Roscommon plain and it fell at the back of Elphin. Fionn then raised a stone equally as big as the giants and with great vigour threw it in the same direction as the giant. Fionn's stone fell some yards farther than the giant's.
