  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is an ancient fort in Kiltycreevagh in James Dolan's land about a quarter of a mile from Kiltycreevagh Cross-roads.
    There is about half an acre of a field in the fort, and a deep trench around it. There are not any big trees or bushes growing in it now. Except old stumps or butts of trees.
    There is one old bush in it and it is supposed that there is money under it, and different men looked for it but when they dug down a certain distance a swarm of flies arose and put them away from it.
