  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a lios in Michael Power's land of Killune. It is in a high field. A high round bank is all round it. There is a hole in the middle of it. There is a gap going into it. A man dreamt that there was money in the hole. He dug it up and it is said he got hundreds of pounds. Shortly after the man got sick and died. It was said he went with the fairies for going near the lios.
