- In my uncle John's farm their is a rock called the Fairy Rock. One time my uncle John forbade his sons to quarry the rock. So they quarried the rock and they carted the stones to where they were making the drains and they put the stones into the drains. And they went home. At night one of them was going on his ceilidh and he looked up into the field and he saw the field on fire. So they arose in the morning and went up to the field and they saw the rock all gathered up. And the field is covered with fairy rocks.
