    Fairy Forts are very plentiful in my District. There are eleven forts in teh District. There are thee in Dan Kilbrides. There is no entrance hole into them. There is no music heard in them. They say if you cut a tree in a fort there would seom one die belonging to them. Forts are generally situated on a use of ground. And there are two in Kilbrides of Caherahallia.
