  1. There is a fort in Collanarney in Feigherys groung. They are called the fort hills. One time a woman got a child. While the people were out a small fairy woman came in and took away the child and left a fairy child. His head was as big as his body. His name was Patsy Dolan. When he grew up he was very wise. If people had any sick animals he was able to cure them.
