  1. (continued from previous page)
    well - you had to lift the water out with a tin, somebody washed a hankie in it & it (the well) disappeared. At Toneynumery they used to dance & a man would play a fiddle to 12 o'clock. A man was told not to walk on the fairy fort he did so & he died that night.
    At Cloughnart any one who would happen to come in while churning was in progress and catch the staff with their left hand, it would change the luck and bring butter on the milk.
