  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Lisdua. There is a high wall all round it and outside it is a deep trench. There is blackthorn trees and black stones in it. It is said that the Danes made it to hide in and if anyone went through the fort at night that they could not find their way out until morning.
