  1. Forts; There is a big fort in our townland called Lisnavane fort. A long time ago there was a man and he cut a tree on Lisnavane fort. When he was in bef that night he took he took pains in his arms and he died in a couple of (days) hours. Every-body said that he shouldn't cut any trees because they belong to the fairies. One night my Grandmother was coming home and it was about ten o'clock. She heard music on the forth. Another night she saw a white cat sitting beside the forth. Many a time she people saw very bright lights and they went all round the forth. There is a pool of water around the forth and a man swam around it.
