    In a field near Ballyguiltenane school is a deep hole. On May Eve fairies are seen there .A man was passing this hole May night about twelve o'clock. He heard beautiful music and the fairies asked him to come into the hole. They asked him stay with them until morning. When morning came they let him go and told him not to be out later then twelve o'clock, and especially when he had no business.
