    Daley Hill
    A lot of old people around Dalkey say that Dalkey Hill was a fairy play ground. It is said that at midnight when the people were in bed they said that they heard a ball bouncing and a lot of laughing. They also said when the people looked out the window they saw something white running along the ground. These things happened beside the houses on the Hill near Dalkey Avenue.
