  1. In Quinlan's fort there is a big stone and there is a ring carved on it. It is an old saying that anyone who removes the stone will be dead that day twelve months.
    One night at about twelve o'clock two men were coming from a wake. When they were crossing a fort one of them thought he saw a man who was dead. Some time afterwards the man who saw the ghost died.
