  2. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are fairy forts in this district. They are called forts. There are two in Killadoran. They are in view of one another. One of them is circular. There is no fence of earth round them. There is no entrance hole in them but there is an underground passage going from one to another. No one ever went into it.
