  1. There is a fort in our land. The name of the townland is Cahernalough. It is a round fort, with bushes all round it. There is a large mound of earth all round it. Nobody ever tried to go down or search for anything there. Nothing happened. There is not any story about this fort. There are no cats or animals near that fort. Nobody ever ploughed forts they say it is not right. No music or light was seen there by people.
