- There was once a man living near Castlehackett. One day there was a fair in Castlehackett and the man was going there with sheep. He went very early in the morning and he met fairies on the road. They followed him all the way to the town and there was none of his comrades there but the fairies. He was a long time around the town but there was no one there but the fairies. After a while the man got very angry and one of the fairies stuck his stick into one of the mans eyes and he saw all his comrades at the fair.
