   Long ago it was said that people were herding cattle west of Doon Hill. It was not long until they heard crying at a place called Faulboile which is beside the hill. They got afraid and ran to the nearest house they saw. There was an old man in the house and when they told him about the fairies, he said "ná bac leo. Cath atá idir iad féin agus na daoine atábuailte; tá siad ag caoineadh agus na daoine a fuair an buadh tá siad ag gáiridh'
