   I went a few evenings ago to man whose name is James Rawdon. He is over 90 years of age. He is living in Ballybrack. He is living in Ballybrack this 30 years. I asked him did he know any folklore. He said he did. This is what he told me. He told me that there is an old place in McLaughlin's field. They made a quarry there. His father saw ashes where the fairies made their homes. Fairies were to be seen at the foot of the field. There are stones to be seen yet where the fairies were. A lot of people come to see it.
