    15-6-38 The Fairy Ring
    About seventy years ago a man by the name of Mr O. Kinsella was ploughing a field in Killiney. When he was in the middle of the field he saw a ring made of mushrooms. The man did not mind and drove on but when the horses put their feet in the ring they fell dead. The man ran to the house and told the people of the house what had happened. Then the people told the man that it was a Fairy Ring.
