  1. There are many Fairy Forths in this district. There is one in Rossard in Tyrrell's field. One in Kyle. one in Kilmyshall in Hanlon's field one in Cromogue on Murphy's land. There is a sand-pit in the one in Cromogue and when a man was digging sand he had a bar in his hand and it fell and went down in the ground and he could hear it rattling through the stones for twenty minutes. Two men drew sand out of it and they died soon afterwards
