  1. There is a fort in Lisamota, Ballingarry and in the Barony of Upper Connello. It is surrounded with big bushes and in the centre of it there are terrible big stones. A man took stones from it about seven years and sold them for the repair of the roads. Not long after the man saw light in the fort. Every place he went the light followed him. He never had much luck after. He died very young. No one ever afterwards touched it.
