  1. About five years ago my father was going to Tom Wedlock's. He had to go through Clonraw fort. When he came to the gap leading out of the fort into Daly's field, his feet would stick to the ground, he tried several times but failed. He then went further down the ditch and crossed at a low place in it. When they were coming homethey went through the same pad and they could not see or find anything.
