  1. A Fort

    Share Share Post
    The oldest man in this district is Michael Clancy 89 years, of Cloonnbonnive Dromahair Co Leitrim. He told me this story of a fort. There is a fort on his land. He often saw a number of little lights there. There is a number of whitethorn trees without any thorns on them growing in a ring that never was planted by any person. If one was standing at this fort you could see another fort at my grandmothers.

    Mrs. Maria Travers Beagh Dromahair
    There is also another number of whitethorns in another ring not far away from it.
