    There was a sidheóg in Castle Hacket and she was seven years sitting by herself in a corner watching every [?] person passing by the way and she would not eat anything. One day after seven years had passed she flew up over the ceiling and was not heard of for a good while after that. She came back again as a right woman and she said the fairies from Castle Hacket had put a spell on her for seven years.
