  1. Old Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is an old fort on Paul Dwan's farm in Miltown.
    There is a ring of earth in the centre which is surrounded by a great number of big trees. It is said to be built by the Danes. One night at twelve o'clock a man who was coming by the fort saw a large black dog which followed him a long distance, the man was very much frightened and he made up his mind not to come near the fort again.
