  2. An Old Fort

    Share Share Post
    The hungry grass is the name of a field, in which is a fort belonging to Heduvan Ballynacargy.
    Even after eating his dinner if a man happened to walk through it, he would almost faint with the hunger.
    Some men after dinner were digging potatoes near the hedge bordering on this Féar Gortach and after some time they had all to get another dinner as they all got "weak" with the hunger.
