- In the Green Hill at Richardstown fairies are supposed to dwell. When the butter would not come on the milk the people thought it was the fairies that took it off. The people placed the share of a plough under the churn and then the butter came on it. When the cow gave no milk the people thought it was the fairies that milked them.
