    There is a fort near Killimor called lis-a-Rose of Rose's fort. The tradition concerning the fort is the territory round belonged to the O'Madden and Miss Rose O'Madden was walking near the fort one day, accompanied by her favourite little dog. The dog strayed into the fort and disappeared, Rose, in her search for the dog, went in also, fell into the hands of the fairies and was never seen afterwards.
    The shadowy form of Rose O'Madden is still seen near the fort, but she disappears when anyone approaches.
    Long ago close to the Loughrea Road, near the village, there lived a woman named Dillon. One night she was up late attending whet household duties, the rest of the family having retired, Suddenly a large party of fairies came in took the spinning whul and spun a large web of flannel.
