  1. There is a fort in Michael Kelly's field. The fort is on the side of a hill. It is a very large fort. There are several small rooms inside. The passage is on the east side. There are a ring of stones around the fort. These are two walls leading into it.
    Several people go inside. No one takes any stones from it. Once a man who was building a stable took some few stones from the fort and left them to put up a stable and the next morning it was back in the fort.
