- May Eve Stories
There was a old woman from the crag near a Askeaton who dabbled in witchcraft. She used to go out at day break on May Eve and stand on the highest wall around and call out to the houses around half the butter of that house for me and so on. She had three cows and every market day she used to have a big firkin of butter.
