- Many years ago, there lived in Ballinlough a man named Willie Doherty. He had built a new house on the side of the hill. This house was built in the north-east of Ballinlough
Every day when the woman was about to churn the fairies came in and would not let her churn. This was a very gentle place. The man had to tumble the house and build another new one again(in)
After that they lived in peace and they fairies never bothered them any more.
