- X111In the townland of Cartroncor there is a man and the fairies brought him away, his name is Johnny Carty. This man was at a dance and he was playing a fiddle. When he was coming home the fairies took him into their palace and had him playing the fiddle. He thought he was only an hour but he was two day and two nights. The fairies let him go at night.
