- A fairy rabbit.
One night, a man was going home from his Cailidhe in Clonmacmara and as he passed through a field where the fort is, he saw a real white rabbit running before him.
He ran after the rabbit and it turned black all at once and the could not see it anymore.
Some days after that two men saw it. They fired a shot at it and it lay down. When they were near it got up and ran off. It turned black and disappeared.
