  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a lot of fairy forths around Ballinasloe town. There is a fairy forth in Paddy Conner's field. The people who live near the fairy forth say that they say fairy's around the forth at night. No one would pass the forth after twelve o'clock at night.
