“There are many stories told about fairies and their doings.”
There are many stories told about fairies and their doings. A fort is the place where the fairies are supposed to live. One story is told however about a leipreachán was seen mending tiny shoes. One night two or three men came to the blackthorn bush accidently and saw the leipreachán. They asked for the pot of gold but the elf told them that it was behind them. When they looked behind the elf was gone.
