  1. There is a fairy fort in Horse and Jockey and it is in Mr. J. O'Keeffe's field. It is a very large fort and is sorrounded by trees. There is a red light seen there at night.
    Paddy Sulivan, Newcastle West was fencing gaps for his employer Michael Lenard, Ringwood, Newcastle West, Co Limerick. He went to a fort near by to cut some bushes, after bringing the bushes out of the fort he got a stroke and when he recovered he found that his two eyes were turned to the right hand side. This man is living yet and his eye are still turned.
