- Once upon a time there lived a family in Tullyskearney.
They built there house near a fairy fort, and they built their cow byre on the edge of the fort.
One day the byre fell and the next morning it was up again. One morning when the people came out to milk the cows, all the heads were off them.
The people had no ease until they took the byre off the fort, and they took it and built it away from the fort and the fairies never came near them more.(continues on next page)
