- 1. "Forts"
There is an old fort near our house in the townland of Cahernalough. It is round. There is a bank of earth around it and there are bushes growing on top of the earth. I do not know if there is a hole down or not. I never heard of anybody going down. I do not know any story about this fort. There are cattle grazing near it.
Once upon a time there was a man and he ploughed a fort and on the following morning the ploughed ground was a field again.
Another man cut bushes in a fort and all he had died and his children were all paralysed. There was a light seen in the fort about 30 years ago.Peg McDonnell
