    At twelve o'clock the Old people used to imagine they heard music, and they would not gather a stick to boil a kettle or light a fire on it a fraid of the Fairies. But now we gather sticks and light fires on it and plough under it and nothing has happened yet so it is believed the fairies have vanished if any were there at all. It is also in the Townland of Glassnamullen.
