- About Fairies
Long ago below in Gortnamona there were little men seen around the fort with red caps and green jackets. They were also singing and playing music.
A man was passing by and he got very frightened. He went home quickly and told his brother. He and his brother came to the place and the fairies were gone.
I'll go home with you now and I'll come back again to see if they are in it. He came back and he saw a big ghost sitting on a stone. it was his brother that put on a big white sheet and ran across a field and he reached the place before him.- Collector
