There is a hillock, or tumulus, near Bishopton, and a large hill near Billingham, both which used, in former time, to be haunted by fairies.

Even Fairy Hill, a well-known stage between Darlington and Durham, is evidently a corruption of Fairy Hill.

When seen, by accident or favour, they are described as of the smallest size and uniformly habited in green.
