- There are a great many old forts in this district. There is one fort here called Guests fort. There was an old woman named Whelan found dead inside the fort about 50 years ago. She went to pick sticks in the fort. She was found by a girl named Davis. There is also another fort called Ringwoods fort. Lights are seen there. It is a round raised up fort with big rocks inside. Old people say it is not right to interfere with a fort.
