  1. Story of a Piper and the Fairies

    Share Share Post
    There was a piper named Shea living at Meanus.
    One night some people were passing the house and they heard him playing dance music and farther on numbers of fairies dancing.
    They called in to the piper's house and he was in bed and he told them he wasn't playing at all that night.
    The place where the fairies danced is near a well.
    It is called Tobar-na-Shee-free.
