- Many say that there was a girl named Fill bathing in the river long ago. She thought she heard her brother calling her and swam across. Then she heard his voice on the other side and swam there. She kept swimming until she was spent out and then she was drowned. They say the fairies in the wood nearby were jealous of her, and did not want her to live because she was more beautiful than they.
The river was called the Feale after her. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
