    The Dunan is supposed to be a fairy haunt. When walking on the road passing over the Dunan a hollowed sound is heard when one walks heavily. Paddy McAteer when a young boy heard them playing music, and heard the sound of their dancing to it. This Paddy McAteer is dead about 35 yrs & was barely 70 years when he died.
