- There is a field in the Townland of Drumgart which is called the fort field, because there is the trace of an old mound or fort at the foot of the field.
There are about four acres of ground in that field.
It is said that there are fairies in the field.
There is a house in Drumgart where Mr. Good now lives, a man named Mr. Ebbitt used to live, it is said that there used to be a half-crown found on the window-sill each morning, one time the man went to Bundoran, when he came home there was no more money found.
