  1. A Fairy "Forth".
    There was a man in Belalt, near Castlefinn one time. He was out ploughing one day and he ploughed up a "forth" and he unearthed clay pipes, bottles and a blackthorn stick. These things were put there by the Danes. There were voices round the field crying "Where's my stick"?
