- We have had many bad storms of wind in our time but we are told that in the year 1839 there was a tremendous, long-enduring storm that has never been forgotten for the damage it did to everything.
On a night in February in that year, when everyone was snug in bed, this terrible storm commenced. It swept the roofs of many houses that were not well supported, and blew away the peoples' hay and corn that they had stored for the Winter.
It. also, carried the unfortunate peoples' barns away about seven or eight miles from their homes.
Towards morning, the awful wind commenced to abate an din the morning it was quite calm again, but it had surely done a lot of damage considering nine out of every ten trees had been knocked down by it.
Before that "Big Wind of 1839", the Irish people believed that there were fairies in every Dún or fort but after it, they said the fairies were gone - that the cruel wind must have swept them all away.
Anyway they are not to be seen now(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
