  1. On Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort within a mile of my house on the Capparoe road. It is a common belief that no one should interfere with the trees or bushes around a fort. A certain man ignored this old remark and cut the timber for firing. When he had finished cutting them he became ill and died a few months afterwards.
