    they were all sitting round he said "I am going away in the morning". And the people asked him when would he be back and he said he would be back when to day will come back. He went away in the morning to a little island that is below Porter's, and it is believed that he is living there since. This little man was called the chisneact.
    There is a wood in the town-land of Maas called Leep and it is believed that fairies lived there.
