  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fairy fort in Donamoney. It is said to be minded by the fairies, and that there are treasures hidden in it. An old priest said that it would sink because there were old kings buried there. It was once a big hill but now it is sinking. There was music heard in it one time when men were passing by it late at night.
