    In Bartholomew O Neills, Ballyogan, Graig-na-Managh about fifty years ago a game of cards was going on. In the middle of the night they had tea in a room off the kitchen. And they left the pack of cards on the kitchen table. When they came back there wasnt trace or tidings of the cards. They searched high and holy for it, and the next morning it was found on a flat flag stone in a rath near the house, and five stone seats around the flag. The neighbours firmly believed that the fairies took them and played with them all night.
