  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is another fort about a quarter of a mile from Glenboy School in Mr Robinson's field.
    There was a man building a byre on a fort one day and a stone hit him in the eye. No one threw the stone and he was blind for life.
    Another man built a cow house on a fort. He never could keep cows in it as they would die or something happened them and he had to toss it.
