- There was a story that two men were killed in Ceanof Ríogh.
There was a story about a giant and his family who were buried under a fort and men took the stones of the fort for building houses, and one night when they had the houses finished the stones were taken and early in the morning they saw the Giant near the fort. - There is a fort down the Ballykissane Road it is in the fields, then there is another one down further where all the unbaptised children are buried and it is said that long ago people used to hear children crying around there.
There are a great many more forts around Killorglin. there is a fort in Douglas and there are a great many very tall trees growing around it. It is very dark inside it and it is very lonely there. - Collector
