  1. Another Story of the Caldhra Fort near Crossreagh

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there was a girl living near the Caldhra and every morning when she went out to a big stone in the tidy acer she found a piece of gold. Her mother said
    "Do not tell anybody or you will not get the gold any more".
    But one morning when she was going to the Caldra she met a witch.
    The witch said
    "Tell me where you get the gold or I will turn you into a frog.
    The girl became afraid and she told the witch where she got the gold and she never got it any more.
