Old Forts (continued)
“In my district there is one large fairy fort which is called "lorgán".”
(continued from previous page)seen in this fort.
One night a man named Mr Hogge was coming home from rambling and when he came near the fort he noticed a light before him. He followed the light and tried to catch up to it, but still it kept on before him. When he thought he had followed the light a few miles he sat down as he was exhausted. Soon he was fast asleep, and when he awoke in the morning he found himself in the middle of the fort.
