    (continued from previous page)
    it is said that the fairies come out from their underground tunnels and sit under these trees at night.
    The second biggest fort in Ireland is at Burraue. There is a fort near Kilkee and there are marble passages in it.
    There was a fort near the Cricket Field (Kilrush) and a man ploughed it. He died of a terrible disease afterwards. It is said you should never till or plough a fort.
