Ned Cavanagh of Ballymacarthur told me the following story. There is a thicket of bushes on the roadside leading to Shrove. In this thicket there are supposed to be fairies. One moonlight night there was a man going that road when two fairies stood before him on the road, and asked him where he was going. So this man got afraid and could not answer them. He ran home as fast as he could and would not go down the road again.
