It is surrounded by white thorn and furze bushes. No body used ever go near it but one day a man named Patry Mc Grath tried to clear away the bushes as it was part of his land. When he left the fort that evening after having a good portion of it cleared a crowd of fairies followed him and began to scourge and beat him. From that day on the fairies were always tormenting him. It is said that night he was dead he was taken from the people of the house and swept to the forth.
