    There is a fort in Mr Berney's field. Every night about twelve fairies come to it, sit on stones and play music. There is another rath in Mr Malies field in Castlefish he would not not let anyone cut a a bush out of the hedge.
    One day my Uncle went out and cut a bush. He went out again ad saw a little man with spikes in his hat.
