  1. There is an old ruin in Carrowmore where Dan MacGeogan lived. The fairies lived under it. There was two doors in the house, a front one and a back one. The woman of the house threw dirty water out the back door every day. One day a fairy woman came into her and told her to stop throwing it out and to shut up her back door.
