- There is a fort beside my house in Moyleroe, Delvin. There used to be three or four steps going up the fort. One day a man drawing stones came & took away the steps. On the other side it slopes down much like a stairs. It has two rings & a lone bush on it. There are lone bushes in the field around it & they are said to be grave marks. On a little hill not far away from it there is a little thing like a grave & a lone bush where a headstone would be. There is one lone bush & a light used to be seen around it at night
