  1. There is a fort in Clonskill. Some years ago Tommie Heneghan built a rick of hay in the fort. A few days afterwards he got ill and he had to go to bed. He left the rick there because it was too much to take it away. When the doctor came he did not know what was wrong with him and he died a few days after. After a while the people guessed why he died.
