    There are three forts in the parish of Lavey, in Co Cavan.

    (continued from previous page)
    Lee was supposed to have gone down half way, and each time he would have a light, and it would go out. Then he would get afraid, and come back. There are alot of forts in Co. Cavan.
    There is another fort in the townland of Drumfominia. It is on Patrick Smith's land. It is composed of palm bushes, with a ditch surrounding them. Every night at twelve o'clock fairies are to be seen dancing, and heard singing. There are also a number of lights seen there every night. The man that owns this fort, cut some of trees and he has a sore hand ever since
