   Once in our rath in Ballinteskan a woman came out of it in white. She wet into a house for cutlins. She said she would bring it back that night week when she would buy her own meal. No-body knew who she was nor nobody around had ever seen her before. Right enough that night week, she did come back, and she brought the meal with her. She did nat stay long. The neighbours were all watching to see what road she would go but she turned into the rath and where she went after that nobody ever knew, only she was never seen around again" Peggy Nolan Told by my grandmother Mrs Fowler whho heard it from her mother when she was young. All the people said it must have been a fairy sow
