  1. A Cave on the Birmingham Road

    Share Share Post
    There is a cave about a 1/4 of a mile in form the Bermingham Road in on the fields. There is a very large fort around it, and it is also very high. There is a large number of trees around the fort.
    The cave is closed in now. But there is only a small opening left. There were bones hanging of strong thick wire. They looked like human bones there were about four wires of bones in it. The bones were fastened to the wire on a strong way so that no one could loosen them out. This cave must have been built by the Danes long ago in Ireland.
