    A Story
    There is a fort in Dunnycove it is in Patrick Feen's land. It is near the ruins of a castle in his land. It is said that the fairies left a jampot of gold there. They say that Patrick Feen's grandfather saw a fairy when he went for the goats on a Sunday morning long ago. There is a big lot of grass growing on the spot at present and it is a lot higher than the field. Patrick Feen's goats don't ever eat the grass of this fort. All the neighbours call Patrick Feen Peter.
