    (continued from previous page)
    know of anybody that went down through the hole and explored the interior. No one knows around here who built them or they do not know what they were built for either. Some people say that the fairies are not in all forts around. the sound of churning or music has never been heard there that I know of. Lights has never been seen either by anybody around here. No one around here ever tried to interfere with the forts when ploughing or putting down their crops that I know of. No stories are told in this connection.
