- There is a liss in the townland of Tournageeha. It is near the bank of the stream in a very hilly field and it is very like the one on the opposite bank.
It is a round space of ground, much higher than the other parts of the field, with rocks on top of it.
It is never tilled or interfered with, as people would not like to do anything to it.
There is a kind of a passage into it at one side where the fairies are supposed to go in and out. There is a hole through the middle of it.
There is another one in Barnavalla. It is much larger than the one in Tournageeha.
There are trees growing around it and it is railed in to prevent cattle from going in or near it, and the farmers believe that it is not right to touch it(continues on next page)
