  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    This is a very true story which I am going to relate as well as I can, although some people nowadays would not believe it.
    About sixty years ago there was a man who started to cart clay our from a fort which is in the townland of Moydriston. He worked at it for just one day and the morning when he awoke he found his head was bald and all the hair of his head on the pillow. Nobody has interfered with the fort since.
