"Stone figure of warrior on horse Although he does not wear armour, his sword projecting behind identifies this horseman as a warrior.

His high curved saddle suggests that he is an English knight. The saddle is designed to keep him securely mounted,

even under the impact of another knight's lance. Possibly 13th century Motte at Castle Bernard, Co. Offaly"

"Fíor cloiche de laoch ar chapall Cé nach bhfuil cathéide air, tuganna chlaíomh atá ag gobadh amach taobh

thiar de le fios gur laoch atá sa mharach seo. Shílfeá ón diallait ard chuartha gur ridire Sasanach é.

Tá sí leagtha chun é a choinneáil go daingean ar an gcapall fiú má fhaigheann sé aon bhuille ó lansa ridire eile."
