  1. There is a fort near Oughty it is called Lis A Phúcha
    There is a bank of earth around it.
    There are forts back in Glenkeen. There are lumps of stone around them.
    One dark night there was a man passing by them
    He prayed to God to send him a light and there was a candle lighted on his hat and it remained on it till he came to his own street.
