- I live in Lislea, which got its name through the fairies. There is a fort in a field close to the mountain. When my mother was young the people used to hear the fairies coming from it, crossing the bogs and hills, going away down by the shore and they all lilting and singing.
There was an old woman long ago who used to sing a song called "The pride of Hill a t-Séibhe, which meant Lislea. There are twenty one houses in Lislea and sixty-three people. The commonest name is O'Hanlon. There are five people over seventy.Collected from:
