  1. Fairy Forts in Duxtown and Adjoining Townlands - Fitzgearlds Fort

    Share Share Post
    This story is about my uncle Paddy. He went picking sticks in Fitzgeralds fort. When he returned he tried to burn the sticks but they would not burn. That night he saw all the fairies around him. The next day he had to carry the sticks back to the fort. Up to the present day lights are often seen there.
