  2. Another Story by Denis Bowler

    Share Share Post
    There is a townland called "Lisheen" bordering on Coolroemore to the west of Lyre school. There are two lioses or forts in one of the fields in Lisheen. The fields belonged to John OCallahan. Coolroemore.
    One day he sent his workmen working in the lios field. About dinner time John OCallahan went to see his workmen. Whether he had given orders to the men to plough the lios or not is not known. But a beautiful foxy-haired woman came out of the lios and stood on the mound and set up a most mournful olagone. The workman threw down their weapons and made off as fast as their legs would carry them. The owner walked away leisurely. The fairy woman was never seen again.
