    look in would be carried away by the fairies . There was often music heard around the forts. There was a man once who cut bushes in a fort and one bush hit him into the forehead and he thought it was only a scratch, but it used swell up. He had to be taken to hospital to have something done for him and the marks on his forehead of the branches can plainly be seen at the present time.
