- FairiesMrs Cullen's grandmother lived in Bernamuck or Dernamuck. She used call out the children - big grown-up boys and girls - to look at the stream of horsemen and women riding from Willie's Rock, through Hawkins' yard, and on to Valentines' field in Rustyduff. The children could not see them, but she often saw them on a summer's evening.Mrs Murphy and Mrs White often saw lights in the Rath in Rustyduff - Valentines' Rath. Even about thirty years ago they saw lights going up to it.James Kavanagh, Clonshannon, always heard that it is exactly six o'clock by the sun when it shines on Blanevawn, for about two months - from the middle of May to the middle of July."Spud" Murphy says - the sun shines at the same time on the Locka, a stream coming down Keadeen.
