  1. Forts
    There is a big fort in our field. There are two rings in it and there are also bushes growing round it. The occupants of the fort now are the fairies. If you went down to the fort at night you would go astray.
    There is a fort in Owen Clarke's field and there are a lot of bushes round it. There was a house built in the fort. The gable of the house is still standing People say there were lights to be seen in it.
