- The hill of Allen may be seen from the school which I attend. It is five miles distance from Naas. Long ago this old hill was the head-quarters of the Fianna. There was a castle built on this hill. Once every three years a fairy used to come and throw tins of fire on the castle and anyone who tried to kill the fairy were themselves killed. Then they got Finn the strongest and bravest hero of the Fianna to fight the fairy they told Finn to hold the sword on front of his face and on doing so he killed the fairy.
