A lios is always made in the form of a circle and all lioses have about the same area. The bank is made of clay and sods and would be about eight feet in height. In some places there is a big dyke of water going all around the lios and in other places. The remains of the old drawbridge is to be seen. There is a lios in Knockboy and it is supposed to be haunted. All sorts of noises and sounds are supposed to be heard there by night and by day. At nightfall if you went close to the lios you would hear the sweetest music that ever you heard coming from the lios. There is a path leading into the lios. In bad weather lights are seen going to and coming from the lios. There is a big hole in the centre of the lios and a big flagstone underneath it. Many years ago two men went to the lios to take away the stone but when they bent down to lift it they saw

lios. Ar chuir. Na Lochlannaigh. Cé'n fáth ar rinneadh é. Thart ar an lios. Níl poll ar bith thart ar an lios. Níor chuir duine ar bith isteach ar an lios aríamh. Na sean -daoine. Ar an saoghal.

There is a lios in Deerpark in Ml. Naughton's land. The shape of the lios is round. One day a man was working in a field near the lios. He heard some noise and looked over the fence and saw a crowd of little men playing football. He continued to look and after a while one of the little men rushed towards him as if to harm him. Just then a priest came out of the lios and all the little men went down the hole into the lios. The hole is still to be seen in the lios today. A white hare has sometimes been seen near the lios also.

There is a lios near John Sullivan's in Boloughacahireen. The name of the lios the Fiary Lios. The shape of the lios is a round hole. It is said that it was the fairies made it.

About a mile to the south of the Currycrowley Lios in the townland of Shanaway is another Lios known as the Shanaway Lios. This Lios was once ploughed by a farmer who fell sick and died shortly afterwards. The people then came to the conclusion that it was better to close the Lios as they were disturbing the little people beneath

Tá mórán lios 'sa cheanntar so; Tugtar "Lios" ortha uilig beagnach ach cúpla ceann amháin ar a dtugtar "dun". Deirtear má sheasann duine ar lios amháin go bhfeiceann sé trí cinn (no naoi gcinn) uaidh. Tá cuma cruinn ar gach lios acu. Nil aon chrainn ach toir a' fás mór thimcheall na lios. Is eol dúinn go bhfuil seomraí no puill fé thalamh i ndá cheann de's na liosanna- Lios an Liaghain agus Cairn.

There is a lios situated on our land in the side of a field. The name of the field is the Lios. It is a circular mound surrounded by a small clay bank. From that lios can be seen a lios in Kilatoor. One time there were three liosses in our field but the old people dug them up leaving one lios. There is one place in the field which no-one can dig. It is a square perch of a big slab stone. Nothing ever grew on that patch of ground. It is said that that stone was one time the floor of the fairies dún. It is a square cut stone.
When there is a breeze in the air it is twice as bad near that lios, some people say that on account of the other two being dug. Our lios is connected to Kilatoor lios by an underground tunnel.

There is a lios in Hally's bog. It is called Raher's lios. It is situated in Kilronan. There are two lioses in Widger's fields, one in the big field below Sugar Loaf Hill, and another opposite Power's gate. The lios in the bog and the one opposite Power's gate are of round shape. The lios in the big field is ploughed now, but it was a three cornered shaped one. There is a clay band round Hally's lios. There is no hole in the middle.
There is another lios in Castletown. One morning the owner of it, Mr Shanahan went out to the field near the lios to bring home the cows. He heard a child crying in the lios.

The is a lios on Butler's in Kilclooney. My grandmother told me this story about the lios. A woman was walking through the fields in which this lios is situated.

Nuair bhí sé píosa ón lios do stád an cappall agus níor suibhalfhadh sé dó'n bhfear. Tosuigh an fear ghá mbhualadh acht sin é an méid mhaith bhí ann.

Thosuigh an fear ag guidhe agus d'imthigh an bhean agus d'imtigh an capall agus níor stád siad arís gur sroch siad an aonach.

Long long ago there was a woman going to the market and on her way she passed by a 'lios'. She found she was brought into the 'lios' and she was told to feed a baby. She did so, and she was told to go into the 'lios' again on her way home. The she went out of the 'lios' and made her way to the market. When she was coming she did not go into the 'lios', but alas she was brought back by the fairies. When she went into the 'lios' she saw a man crying in the corner. She was told by a fairie that her cow was dead and a piece of her boiled in the pot. She did not believe the fairie but when she went home she found it was all true. She threw out the meat which was in the pot because she was told by the fairie
