  1. There is a big fort in the lands of Mr. Michael Crimmon Newbridge Co. Limerick. The fort is surrounded by a big bank of earth and alot of bushes. The Danes are supposed to have built it long ago. Mr. Crimmon went once cutting bushes in the fort and he was not long at work when he got a terrible pain in his foot and he got afraid and went away.
    A certain person was passing the fort late at night and he heard a lot of noise in it. He looked in and saw nothing in the fort.
