  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a great many forths in Ireland. I know a couple in Ballinasloe. There is one in the Mental Hospital lands but the best one I know is in Mr. Lombards land. On the Kilconnell road it is said that there was music heard in it every night. A boy was passing and the fairies caught him in a forth. Next morning the people were looking for him and they found him in the forth.
