Enfield (heraldry)
The enfield is a fictitious creature sometimes used in heraldry, having the head of a fox, forelegs like an eagle's talons, the chest of a greyhound, the body of a lion, the hindquarters and tail of a wolf.
O'Kelly
The earliest known example of the enfield is the crest of the Ó Cellaigh clan of Ireland. Ó Cellaigh of Uí Maine are the most documented O'Kelly sept in early Irish history and annals. The enfield appears in Leabhar Ua Maine.
The ancient tradition among the O'Kellys is that they have borne this fabulous animal since the days of King Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh who fell "fighting like a wolf dog" on the side of the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru, at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. When Tadhg Mor fell this mythical beast issued from the nearby sea to protect the dead body of the chief until it was retrieved for proper burial by his kinsmen.
The animal is sculptured on many old (c.1375–1650) tombstones of the O'Kelly family in the Abbey of Kilconnell (founded c. 1353 by King William Buidhe Ó Cellaigh), and in the old church of Cloonkeen.

The Haunting
by: NosferatuFrom the tidal waves that scream she comes through,
The woman in white riding the sky.
Laid me down on hallowed ground,
Gave her chains to me,
Places I've never seen, Things I've never been.
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
Through the wind, she comes to me.
Annexed, misgiven girl, the angel of the sea,
Surrounded by fragile words and promises she never means,
She took my fears, forgave my tears, threw away her seven years,
And heaven's not so bright, as she came to me that night.
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
Through the wind, she comes to me.
I ran into the shadows bleeding,
the shadows I hide in, it's always the same,
And the shame gripping tight to the skin of the sin,
For the second they love you, the first that you kill.
The sea comes and calls her from death into light,
Leaving me facing the blade of her night,
Summoning my soul again, whispering her dark refrain
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
