  1. (continued from previous page)
    near Lios na Cathrach and a woman came out of the fort and told him not to build it there because that was the fairy's land.
    It is said that a house was near a fort and the people of the house made an ash-pit outside the back door and one morning a fairy woman came to the man of the house and told him not to put the ashes in that place again for it was going into their rooms.
