    (continued from previous page)
    a lot of hazel-nuts there and when people are gathering the nuts they are careful not to break a branch of the tree, because they say that if they did that the fairies would catch them. There is a Rath in Mr. Price's field near Robertstown and a man named William Price who owned the field at that time went out one day and cut down the trees on the Rath so that he could plough the field. After that one of his arms got paralysed and he shivered until he died.
