- I know an old fort it is in Coolras, Bruree, Co. Limk. The owner of the fort began to cut the timber that was in it. The people around told him he would not have a days's luck if he cut the timber. he only laughed at them. After the first day when he got up, the best cow he had was dead. One day a man was passing the fort, he heard the fairies saying "get the pot hanger", "wash the potatoes". There is another fort in Kilmore it is called Fitzgerald's fort, there is a drain all round it. The owner of it cut all the timber in it and he died suddenly in about two weeks after, there is a small passage under the bushes. There is another fort in Kilmore and it is called Shea's fort, one night two men were taking a walk along the road. One of the men saw a big light about the size of a house and the two men ran home as quickly as they could, and it was three o'clock in the morning when they were at home.
