There was a fairy king called Fliarteac living in the sand-hills. One day a man who didn't believe there was such a person as Fliarteac came upon his castle. He, not knowing it was Fliarteac’s castle asked for lodgings. He got them. When he went to bed that night he had a very soft pillow under his head and plenty of clothes. In the morning when he woke up he was lying down at “Rogey” with a large stone for a pillow. - Collector
