  2. There is a fort beside our house called Clonavogy fort. There are two rings on this fort which is bare except for the growth of whin bushes and blackthorn bushes.
    We children avoid this fort after dark being fearful of the fairies not that we imagine they would harm us but at the same time we think it better to avoid meeting them.
