  1. This fort is full of rabbits, grey, black, brown and white and black ones.
    A great many people try to catch them, but they never can because they belong to the fairies who live in the fort.
    A fort near Tipperary town.
    There is a fort near Tipperary and a man used to sleep in it every night. One night at twelve o'clock he heard a bell ringing. When he got up next morning he told the owner of the field. The farmer told him that he was going to die. He died a couple of days after.
