    some years ago. This was supposed to have been done by the fairies. (Number three) About a quarter of a mile from this fort, there is another in Mr Love’s field. Soldiers are supposed to have been killed here several years ago. This fort is also surrounded by hazel trees. Some old men in the neighbourhood are said to have seen a headless soldier near this fort.
