- There lived once upon a time a woman in Meenaduff.
Every time she started to churn, a fairy woman would come in and lift the churn-head out of the churn.
One day as this woman was churning, a number of fairies came in unnexpected and started pulling the churn-head out of the churn. This woman succeeded in taking it from them.
Meenaduff is situated near the main road on the way to Carndonagh.
This woman left this house because it was haunted and built a new one.
