  2. Fairy Forts
    There are fairy forts in Derrymacstir. They are called a fort. They are all circular shape. They are surrounded by trees. There is a hole in the middle and an entrance into it. Some people went into it but there was nothing in it. There are lights to be seen and music heard also. There is an other fort in Cronkell. It is in view with the one in Derrymacstir. There are two fairy-forts in my district, Lana-weeney, Shanleys walls
