  1. My uncle Jack Fox, Robinstown has a field and it called it the fort. There is a fort in it and Granny told me that there were fairies in it. She told me that they would come out every night and go through the yard at twelve o'clock. In the ditch that surrounds the fields there is a big rock and this is the entrance to the cave. It is said that there is gold in it.
