- 204Fairy Forts.There is a kyle on the land of Mr Plummer, Quarry House, Ferns, Co Wexford. This kyle is in the townland of Kilcoulshea. Baby children who are still-born or are not baptised are buried in the kyle. There are white-thorns growing on the kyle. No one ever meddles in any manner with this kyle.
There is a moat on the lands of Mr Walter Gahan in Ballyorley, Ferns, Co Wexford.
I heard a story of a raheen in Tomagaddy, Ballycanew, Gorey, Co Wexford. One night a man was passing this raheen and he heard lovely music. The man said, "That is lovely music," but the fairy never answered him. He again said as before and the fairy let such a shout at the man that he got a pain in his head and died.Nora Breen,
Carrigeen, Ferns, Co. Wexford.These stories were told to me by
my mother,
