    The farmer never interfered with fort nor ploughed the field till a few years ago.
    He then ploughed and sowed turnips in this field to when the time came to draw in the turnips he decided to make a short cut through this fort he did one days drawing and when he went next morning to draw there was a big tree across the road and there was no storm in the night
