Folklore - Old Customs [duchas:5263652]
There are many customs in Ballymore. One I know is that on a churn day, the woman always sticks a piece of butter on the dairy wall until the next churn day. Then she takes off the old bit and puts on a fresh piece. This is supposed to keep the fairies from taking the butter.
