We drink a health long life and weath
to the maids of Enniskerry O
By shady glen and thorney glen, and
mountain rivers foaming.
They sport and play so bright and gay
Like Elfins in the gloaming ORove every mile through Erin's Isle
From Bantry Bay to Derry O
'there's no colleen' like the Mountain queens around sweet Enniskerry O. Poor Adam sighed, when first he spied
Fair Eve in Eden roaming O
He found a mate who share his fate.
And love him in the gloaming O
So love began twixt Maid and man
And never sience did very O
Fair Eve she threw her charms anew
around sweet Enniskerry O
The old folks say they came one day.
A band of faries reaming O
From every hand a magic wand shone brillant in the gloaming
They plucked a flower from every bower
And a stone from every berry O
They laid it down and built a town and called it Enniskerry O

The late Father O Dwyer Parish Priest of Enniskerry gave a car-man, who had driven him home on a wet-day a glass of whiskey. He asked for another. Father O Dwyer who knew the man was too fond of spirits refused. Holding the decanter in his hand he said to the man. "Every glass of that you drink is a nail in your coffin," "Well then, said the car-man, as you have the hammer in your hand, why not drive another nail into my coffin when you are at it."

A long time ago there was a treasure hidden but nobody knew who hid it. About a year ago the treasure was found and it was my grandfather who found it while digging in Mr William's pit in Enniskerry. The treasure consisted of two skeletons, and two gold bowls. We don't think there is any connection between the Danes and this treasure.
There are no lights seen only in the pit of the men working.
These treasures are to be seen in the Museum in Dublin any day.

Not far from the Scalp on a side road branching from the main road to Enniskerry can be seen the remains of an ancient church known as Killegar. It is surrounded by a very old graveyard. There are two very old gravestone to be seen in this grave yard. They are ornamented with strange engraving of circles and lines in the form of a ray. Some years ago when men were working in a sand pit near by an old bell was excavated. It was sent to the museum in Dublin. It was believed to be the bell that once hung in the old church.
There are many more sites of old churches in the district. There is one in Killiney founded by five daughters of Leinin. Cill-Inghean-leinin-from which the district gets its name. There are two churches in Dalkey, one in the town and another on Dalkey Island.

The road that passed the school is known as the Ballycorus Road. It leads from the village of Kilternan on the main road from Dublin to Enniskerry, to Loughlinstown and Shankill. Just beside the school, a bridge was built over the Loughlinstown River in 1910. Before that time the river was crossed by a ford and the surface of the road was rough and uneven. An old pass way went from this bridge to a Tuck Mill about a half a mile through the fields. This old road ran almost parallel to the river, and is now covered with grass. The formation of the road can be clearly seen for the greater part of the way but here and there it is scarcely discernable. The river was also diverted to supply the water power with which the mill was worked
A hollow in the field and the remains of a few stone walls is all that remains in the place where the

The local fairs are held in Roundwood and Newtown and also in Bray. Bray is not really in our district but the folk of this district bring their animals to sell them. The fairs are always held in towns or villages.
Sometimes men call in on their way from the fair and buy an animal from you, that is if you were not at the fair. There used to be a fair in Enniskerry, it is supposed to have been stopped because it is near to Bray.
There is a place called the fair green, where the fair takes place every month. Sometimes people sell their animals in the street on their way to the fair green. As you are going into the field you pay one shilling for each cow to a man at the gate. When an animal

There are two rocks on the North side of the valley of Glencree to the west of the village of Enniskerry.
It is told that the fairies used gather there twice or three times yearly and went on a drive across the glen.
Before these drives took place it was said that a red haired woman was seen on the track as if surveying it. The woman was never met face to face.
Before the drive took place the gathering at the rocks took place a very loud noise like thunder being heard and the noise of a rushing mighty wind.
On this journey they passed through fields and used crush turnips to the worth of 10 drills. The farmer had a turnip field with a shed for lambs in it. These were situated on the drive and it is told that when they had passed the shed had been lifted two lengths away and a large stone was found rolled through it.
They started like a whirlwind and the noise

There is a farm at Blackhouse to the west of Enniskerry.
The owner at one time was a very respectable man named Hicks.
In this farm is a farm [field?] which is and was always thickly covered with furze bushes.
So Hicks seeing that some of his fences were broken down and his sheep getting out, thought to himself that some of the bushes on the rath would make good fencing.
He cut some and his saw broke in two and he still persisted in cutting them with a hook and then mended the fence.
Next morning he could not leave bed with severe pains in his back.
Some neighbours advised him to replace the bushes which one of his sons did and immediately the pains left him but he never cut bushes from the rath again.

44 Blessed WellThere is another well of some type as aforementioned and it si on the farm of Hugh Murphy - one mile from school. It was made by St. Kevin who was carrying stones on his backk from Enniskerry to Glendalough. He laid down the stones to get a drink and the well sprung up.There is a story told how some Protestant men desecrated this well and he never straightened afterwards. The well went dry until blessed by Missionary Priests hereafter.A strange thing about the well is that in the cold frosty days of winter, the water in this well is quite warm, and in the hot days of Summer, the water is ice cold.Information got from
