  1. There is a fort situated in Knockacraig. Every night after seven o clock, music is heard from the fort to the glen near by. There was a man in County Cork, and he went into the tunnel and he found a timber mug, and another man went to another fort, and he found a gold chain, but when he caught it in his hand, it turned black. Lights are seen from the fort in Leonards. There was a man passing by that fort, and he stopped to tie his lace and he got light from the fort
