- Fairy Forts
There is a fairy fort on the townland of Aughagad. It is a small fort and it is of circular shape. There are now a number of blackthorn bushes growing around the fort. There is only a small entrance hole in it and there is a small stream of water running through this hole. The bushes are growing around the fort in a circle, and there is a lot of flowers growing around the fort also. It is in the middle of a large field and there is another fort in view of it.A few years ago there used to be lights seen rearly every night around this fort but they are never seen now. It is said that the fairies lived in this fort, but nothing was ever seen in it except light.(continues on next page)
