    A Fort.
    One time there was a certain man living near Limerick whose wife had given birth to her first born and he set off for Limerick to have the child's birth registered. He had a companion with him and that night as they returned home weary from their long walk they sat down to rest near the foot of a hill where there was a large hole in the ground.
