The second Legend of Ardmore is about the Tower of Armore which ÿstands today, like a silent sentinel on the "hill of the sheep."

Tap, tap, tap--goes the Leprechaun's tiny hammer. Before he knew it, the mists began to lighten and took on an orange glow as the sun began to rise over the horizon. But, had the elf finished his task?..: What happened next you ask?? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious.
