    Sometimes lights are seen on this fort and the old people who are still in this district believe that it is the fairies be going about.
    There is a big lone bush growing beside the fort and it is also said that the fairies planted it.
    On the other side of my home there is another fort known as Keelagh fort. This is only a small fort compared with the other one but both forts are round in shape.
