  1. A Fairy Ring

    Share Share Post
    One night long ago my aunt was coming home from Dunlaoghaire and when she got to Castlepark she decided to take a short cut across the field. As she was going across the field she got dizzy and started to go round in a ring. She kept going around until dawn came. When dawn came the ring went from round her feet and she was able to find the gate and the other end of the field. When she came home she started to cry and said that she was caught in a ring all night.
