  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Ashline in Doctor Glynn's land. People say that anyone that went in there never came out again.
    A man told me that one time his father went to cut wood in a fort in his land and a day later his horse died. There is a big mound of grass all round it.
    One time a young girl was coming from a dance at 2 o'clock and the fairies called her and asked to eat a potato and she would not eat it
