  1. There are five fairy forts in the district. They are nearly all in line with each other. They owners of the field that the are in never till it. A man named Hannon who lives in Greyfield Gurteen Co Sligo once cut trees that were growing near the fort and after that he got a bad fall off a bicycle. At night lights are seen floating from one fort to another.
