  1. The Carrigen road is a very old road. It was made sixty years ago. There were three men killed at the making of the road. People say that because they made the road through a fort people say that they had no right to make the road through the fort. And the fairies did something to them and they were killed one after (the) other. When they were going home one evening after a hard days work.
