- I heard of a Fairy Fort which is near Cloghan It is in Tom Kellys field. There is a ring made with clay. Every night, the fairies come and dance there In the middle of the fort a fairy is supposed to be making shoes.
Any one who comes within fifty yards of this fort cannot stir out of the place he is in until the fairies let him go
If he goes to kill the fairies he will be brought out of his house at night and killed.
