“There is a fairy fort in the town-land of Ardmone.”
There is a fairy fort in the townland of Ardmone. The Danes (Dedannans) live in them, as they never died.
One day a man was going along the Ardmone Road, when he found a blackthorn stick, as he was passing near the fort he knocked at one of the tiny doors supposed to be in the fort at that time & inquired if anyone owned the stick. A little man dressed in red came out & said he did not own it but he would ask his grandfather. He came out & said he did not own it but he would ask his grandfather, who when he came out said he did not own but that his grandfather did. - Informant
