    2. There are the remains of an old fort in cloonfaughna and it is supposed that anyone who enters that field after dusk, will be walking all night until he reaches a certain bush in the fort and then he will be able to find his way again.
    3. There is a fort in Feeney's in Ballicurry, and it is called Lios Rubbic. A bullock hanged himself there and no one ever goes near it after dark in case he would be pursued by the animal.
