CO GALWAY: €295,000:ANYONE who'd like to go away with the fairies might be interested in Sheeauns Lodge, a wooden three-bedroom house in Cleggan, Connemara, Co Galway.

The house is the only one on Lough Sheeauns, the lake of the fairy mounds, and is surrounded by prehistoric court tombs dating back to Neolithic times, 6,000 years ago. Spencer Auctioneers in Oughterard is selling the house for €295,000. It’s a cosy looking holiday home with three bedrooms (one en suite). It sits on 0.7 acres running down to what the agent calls a virtually private lake, used for swimming, boating and fishing. It is seven miles from Clifden.
