  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are a few forts in my district. One id in Drumispick. It is said that Danes used to live in them. It is said that one fort can be always saw from others. It is also said that fairy people used to live in them. No one could go near the fort. There is a little ditch round the fort. It is also said that if any one does any thing to forts or lone bushes it will be the cause of their death or some thing to happen them. I often saw a fort. They are called by different names.
