  1. There are a lot of forts round here. There is a story told about McCormack's of Longfield.
    Once upon a time a man named Charley Cullen of Longfield dreamed of finding a pot of gold in it,three nights after each other. On the third morning he went to look for it and after digging for some time, he found the pot of gold where he dreamed of it.
    A man named Bernard Daly dreamed that there was a pot of gold under a turf in Duffy's fort and he went to it but he couldn't find the gold as he did not dream of it three nights after each other.
