Fairy Folk

There are alot of forts around our district and there are a lot of names on them.
There is a fort in the Gullane named Conair- ná - Fearta.
There is a fort in Ballinvoher named the land of the fairies. Some people say that if you ploughed a fort or cut the trees that are growing in it that something would happen to that man who broke it.
In the fort that is in the Guillane the trees were cut out of it and the fort in Ballinvoher was knocked and it is tilled by Mick Mack every year and nothing happened to any one yet.
