- Long ago the ancient chiefs had forts or líos's. Some of them were made of stone, wood, or fences. They got the poorer to build them. Then, the chiefs had protection from their enemies and from the wild animals.
There were three fences in the wealthier chief's forts, two in teh smallest chiefs/ The Danes destroyed the most of them. But some of the old forts are still to be seen. There is a fort of a small-ranked chief near our house. There is only one fence. There is a big bush growing in the side of it.

All kinds of music is heard in it. There is a great dazzling light seen in it.(continues on next page)- Collector
