    There is a Fairy Fort in Martin McGurran's field.

    There is a Fairy Fort in Martin McGurrans field. It is surrounded by bushes. About a hundred years ago there was a man named Peter McGloin going by the fort. He looked into the bushes and he saw a girl combing her hair. He spoke to her and she did not answer him. He spoke to her a second time and she gave him a slap into the eye with the back of her hand. He was blind until he died. There is a seat made out of a big rock beside the Fort.
