025 | This name applies to a small round Knoll, covered with rough pasture - one of the Caudy Knows - some of the old people in the district used to say that it was one of The Fairy Hillocks and the unwary traveller who happened to rest on, or near it, was sure to be overcome with sleep - and perhaps wake up after the elapse of half a century or so - to find everything changed and no one to remember them. Time had forgotten to change them and the felt as if they had only been asleep a few hours |
