    There is a fort near our place. It is situated in Mr Finn's land. It is round, and there are a lot of trees growing around it. Mr Finn is from Ballenahow. He told me that there is some gold hidden in it. One time a person tried to get it but he failed for the fairies guarded it continually. He told me that he never cut any hay in it. He said that if he did some of his family would die. He said it is dangerous to go near it at night.
