- Long ago, there was a lovely big house in Clare Galway, and the people used to call it Teác Mór. Nobody owned the house, but how it came there nobody knows. Fairies that lived in it and most of the fairies were black dogs.
The black dogs used to be seen by a lot of people and they were to be seen so often that the people knocked it down and the black dogs were never seen again.
