    man asked her out to dance and they danced for a long time. Then the supper was prepared and this man was asked down to supper. He was sitting on a beautiful chair, eating lovely things when all of a sudden, he found himself sitting on an old white stone.
    He went home, and as he was coming the same way the following night he saw the fairies on the road, they gathered around him and squeezed so tightly that he died a day or so later.
    There are remains of an old rath there at the present day.
