  1. Forts

    Share Share Post
    A fort is an old fortress containing a rood with a round embankment. When you stand in one fort you are bound to see three more. It was the Danes that built them and there are bushes in nearly all of them. It is considered that it is very unlucky to meddle with then except to keep them clean of byres and weeds. There are generally crocks of gold hid in these forts.
