- At the fort of Sidhe Mór mountain a small circular lake sheltered by the mountains lofty heights takes up its position. On account of the antiquity of this lake many fairy-tales are related about it.
One a summer morning about 3 o'clock a man was passing the above mentioned lake. He was greatly surprised to see a very small woman emerge from a cave in the side of the mountain. She was carrying a small pail. On reaching the lake she filled her pail with water and returned to the cave, apparently unworried by her watcher.
