  1. This a story told by my father last night about fairies. He said that there were two men coming from Athboy. When they were coming at a place called Crockenna they heard a music. They stopped and looking into the wood they saw a fire and a group of fairies dancing round it. They went in and they stayed there until it was near morning. The he went home and went home and when he got up the next morning he found a lot of keys in his box.
