“There were many old forts in Ireland long ago.”
There were many old forts in Ireland long ago. Many of these old forts still remain.
One of these forts can be found in Mr. Frank Tully's land Kilconny, Belturbet. It is beside the river Erne. It is said that fairies have been seen
dancing on a large square stone. The stone cans till be seen. It is among a clump of trees.
There is also a fort to be found in Mr. Donoghue's land Miltown, Belturbet. It is in a field along the side of the road. One night about twelve o'clock a man was passing it and he heard a flock of turkeys coming after him.
