  1. There are the ruins of an old house in Curvey beside Pat Walshes and it is facing our village. They say that there are fairies dancing around our village and we can see the fairies dancing around Curvey hill. They go around the hill and start to sing and dance and in the turn of your hand it all disapper. They run into the houses and start to cry. The people in Curvey say that the fairies are in our village dancing and singing and crying.
