- Fairies and Blood.There was a woman living in Kilavalla who had a big washing of sheets.
She spread them on the bushes where there was a fort.
In the morning the clothes were all sprinkled with blood.
She got sick that night and died a few days after. Her ghost was often seen round the fort.- Collector
