- (continued from previous page)is told about a man's horse who was getting sick and the owner thought it was the fairies that had caused the trouble. He said that he would dig out the fort if his horse did not get better. So next day he went up to the fort and started to dig. He was not long at work until an old cat came out of the fort. The man went home, fell ill and died. So no one has gone near that fort since.
