    When the people went to their ridges they saw they were undamaged and they then believed that he was a fairy. This happened about a hundred years ago. Afterwards a piper the same fairy was heard playing old Irish airs on the top of the fort. There were a number of men and women fairies dancing to his music. This was seen by men who were going to a fair.
