  1. Fairy Forts

    I know one fort about here, it is called by no special name, it is called "Clarks Fort", there are no stories told about it. It is sorounded by big trees, then there is a trench around it, then a clay bank, and a hollow. There are two or three entrances. Nobody seems to know who it formerly belonged to. Some people say there is gold hidden in it, but others say it is quite untrue.
