   farm of William O'Donnell, Deerpark. This liss was rooted and it is said Patrick O'Donnell got money there. They closed the hole but ever since there is a circle around the liss whatever crop is planted there. There is another liss also in Deerpark on the farm of Michael Burns. This is also circular in shape. They are within view of one another. It is said there is a tunnel running from one liss to the other. This is why the road there so often breaks; there is a hole in the side of it. Lights were seen there and music was heard playing there. Wild cats were seen there. It is said the fairies built these forts. There was a bank of earth around this liss but it was taken away.
