“There was a man in Shannagh that had a fort on his land.”
75
There was a man in Shannagh that had a fort on his land. When he would be out late at night he would see light in the fort. Whenever he used to see the light he would go down to the fort the next morning and he used to see the fort all covered with little pieces of cloth where the fairies used to be making things at night. Mrs Rogers (50) Aughacillmore.

“It's not right to sweep out the floor after night.”
75
It's not right to sweep out the floor after night.
It's not lucky to meet a red haired woman and you going on a journey.
It's not lucky to throw out water after night.
It's not right to throw out dirty water after sunset.
It's not right to put out the ashes on May morning.
It's not lucky to see a lone magpie. - Informant
