    So they would not build it there.
    One evening when Mrs Clarke and her sisters were walking on a certain hill, Mrs Clarke was not walking as quick as them they looked back and she was gone out of sight. The fairies had taken her under the ground for three days. So one day she was left where she was got.
    They asked her what did she see but she could tell nothing.
    In Kellets hills there are fairies there. Stones are shaped like chains on this hill.
    Got from Mrs Clarks, Ballyboy, Athboy, Co. Meath.
