  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    On the land of Paddy Nolan in Elphin Parish there is a fort surrounded by a ditch. There is a big opening in this fort which leads to Ardcarne.
    One night a man named Michael Kelly was coming home from rambling and he heard lovely music and a man singing with it.
    In the land of Mary Mac Dermot of Castletown there is another fort and lights are seen and voices are heard around it.
