- There is one fort in my District that I know of. It is in the Townland of Crowenstown. It is not in the view of any other fort or near any other fort. It has a round shape and there is one circle around it. The circle is of big trees and there are more smaller ones in the middle of it. I never heard tell of a entrance hold in the centre of it. There are supposed to be fairies and ghosts and gold hidden in it. There were very very funny noises heard in it like the sound of cats mewing. And the people are half afraid to pass it at night. More times there were supposed to be banshees heard in it. There are the ruins of an old house it. The owners of the land never interfered with any part of it.Lights have never been seen(continues on next page)
