  1. Haunted Places in the District - Daveren's Fort

    Share Share Post
    About a mile outside Ennis on the Shanaway Road is Davoren's Fort. It is in the second field from the road. It is surrounded by a stone wall about five feet high. It is haunted. If any person goes into Davoren's Fort during the night he would be caught and held there for two hours or more. Mr. Davoren's cattle go in there and smell the grass and they walk around the wall and they come again.
    One day an old ass went there and came to a spot and then he began to root up the earth until Mr. Davoren came in and took him out. When the ass came out he gave a big roar and died so Mr. Davoren closed up the gap and walls next day. Since then no animals are allowed in there.
