    THE SUNNY STILE Co. Kildare
    The "Green Hill" in Donadea, Rourke's Hill in Mónruadh and Carbury Hill are in line with each other. Between the "Green Hill" and "Rourke's Hill" there is a large stile made of stone. If anyone attempts to cross this stile at 12 o'clock at night, he will be held with one leg on each side until all is taken from him. When all is taken from him, he will be led through a passage into the fairies home under the Green Hill" and will be let out again at a small hill called the "Fox Covert".
