- There are two forts in Drummuch and tree in Knockanoarh, all theese forths are near hand each other. Some people call them a liss others a rath. All theese have a wall of stone round them. At most forths lights are seen at night. A lone bush is growing at Path Denneher's forth and it is said that whoever breaks a branch of that lone bush that his father would die and lights would be seen round the home for a number of years. I heard of two men that cut a "lone bush" bedside a forth, that time the next year the two men died that day. A light was seen beside where the three were, from that night ever since.
