    Michael McGrath a native of Anglesboro' was building a house near Hedderman's liss (in Angelsboro) He could make no progress for what he did today would be felled tomorrow.
    An old neighbour advised him to discontinue explaining that he was building on a fairy passway. He took the advice, built on a different site and had no further trouble.
