- In my own district in Ballycrine, there is a fort on the land of Mr. Kealey. It is there since the time of the Danes.
In it is supposed to be three caves, in which there is hidden Treasure. A man named Kingsley Benn of Ballygurteen, heard music playing in it. It is said also, that nothing should be taken out of it; if it's interfered with, misfortune is sure to follow.
A workman named Michael Egan cut down all the bushes in it. He became a cripple and remained so till he died.
Phil Kealy the owner of the land, said he saw a woman dressed in white in it.
