The path goes through the Priests' fields down Annie Reilly's garden and out at her gate, then across the street, through our hall (McGraths), up our garden and down Dixon's fields to the Fort. My grandmother (Mrs Evans) told me that there was a man living in our house called Captain "Federson" who one night at twelve o clock saw fairies passing from Reilly's Gate across the street and into our house on their way through.
