  1. There are many old fairy forts in this vicinity. There are two fairy forts in Corderrry. There is an underground passage which leads from the one in Corderry to Pipers Mount. It is about half a mile long. They are surrounded by earth and stone and lone bushes. There is a little square entrance, as you descend you would have to go on your hands and feet and as you in, it gets high by steps. When you go down about twelve steps you go through a small stone door. To the right there is a little recess, when you go in you turn into another door. Then you come to a room build round with stone.
