- There is a fort in a field belonging to Micheal O'Rourke in the townland of Largy. There are three bushes growing at it.The old people say that there are old Druids and old Kings buried there. There was a man out one night and when he looked up at the fort he saw a light. The next night about the same time his brother was coming home from work,and when he was passing the fort he heard a voice in the bushes saying ''hurry'' and when he went down to the house his brother was dying.
