In a certain house near Cooldaniel, Macroom, there was an old fort which extended down in front of the house. The residents built a porch in front of the house in the passage of the fort, and put a door on each side of it. The people did not get peace or ease until they took off the two doors after night-fall, because the fairies were always traversing there.
