    There is a fort in Harbour View as two men were passing by it one night they heard laughing behind them.

    There is a fort in Harbour View
    As two men were passing by it one night they heard laughing behind them. They did not take any notice and they went on
    As soon as they were gone out of the field on to the road they saw a little man running in over the ditch towards the fort
    One of the men ran after him to catch him
    The little man stopped and asked him what he wanted
    The man said he was poor and wanted money
    The little man told him there was a crock of gold in a hold in the ditch
    The man went over the search for the gold and when he returned the little man was gone.
