    Clontreat Forth
    The fairies once dwealt in a forth called Clontreat Forth, situated on the by-road leading from Clones to Newbliss. In this forth the fairies dwelt about a century ago.
    They used to go out into Ferguson's fields to play in the late hours of the night. They played round a lone-bush. The man who was living in Ferguson's house often heard them at play.
