  1. There is a fairy fort in our land which is in the townland of Dereen, in the parish of Ardagh, in the barony of Tirawley, and in the county of Mayo.
    In olden days the fairies were seen in this fort. If any person crosses this fort after twelve o'clock at night would be put astray. Several people have seen the fairies hold fairs in this field.
