  1. Long time ago it is said there was a man named Tom Walsh in Toor and he had a fort in one if his own fields. One evening he was going down his own field and he saw a Fairy and he caught the fairy and he asked him for gold. The fairy told him to look around and he looked back and when he looked back and when he looked round again the fairy was gone. He never saw the fairy a-gain.
