    The Fairies of Fane Valley.
    In Fane Valley there is a mount which belongs to the fairies and every night they hold their dances and feasts on this mount.
    The people of Fane Valley firmly believe that if anyone tills the land on this mount, the fairies will injure them.
    One family called Grimes tilled this land about fifty years ago and inside of a year, there was not one of them left.
    Told by :- D. Carmody,
    Fane Valley.
