  1. Leprechauns

    Share Share Post
    There is a remarkable place near my house. It is called Dun na Lepreachaun" It is said that it is situated between two hill called "Sugar Hill" and the "old garden hill". There are two stones lying one across the other. I was told that two lepreachauns were working together one day. They fell out and fought till death. There is a little lake appearing there now.
    It is said that if you interfere with the stones the fairies would appear to you.
    There is another remarkable place in Gibbonstown.
