He told his mother that no water came so she wen to see what was wrong and she found that it was not the same stone and she told him that no water would come unless you tapped with the stone that he threw at the bird. They looked for it but could not find it. There is another story told about the same fort that one day two men were looking for holly for it was near Christmas. They did not get any but when they were coming home they went into the field where that fort were and they looked up and saw grand holly on it but when they went up to pick it it was gone and it is said that the fairies only put it there for themselves. When the men went up to get it it disappeared and there is an old saying locally "You only saw it like Liston's holly".
