- There was a great battle at the steeple of Fairymount between the fairys of Fairymount and the fairies of Rathcroghan. The fairies of Rathcroghan wanted to bring the stone and that stone belonged to the fairies of Fairymount. They fought for three nights and the fairies of Fairymount bet them and would not let them bring the stone. But a man went to bring the stone he had it got a bit and the stone would not move any further and the man went in search of men to help him to bring the stone and the fairies had a hold of the stone and would not let it go and the men had to bring back the stone again. The stone is there since and no one can bring it.
