Wm Donegan's grandfather lived in Clonsast and he had 3 cows and a horse. His cow stable was too small and he built an addition to it. The following morning he went to milk the cows & they milked blood. In a few days time one of the cows was drowned & after a few days another. He went to Moll Anthony ( ) and she told him that his cow stable was built on a fairie's pass. He came home and knocked down the stable but all the same his stock were all drowned.
The house where this happened was about four fields from Mr Dunne's in Consast.
