    Old Forts.
    There are old Forts in Mr. Cahill's field that are joined together by an underground tunnel. The same tunnel runs into Mr. Haddock's garden about two hundred yards from the forts. Mr. Cahill cut all the trees, off one of the forts except three, and all the cattle died except three.
    There is another Fort in Mr. Daly's field in Clonshanny. All the trees are growing on it yet.
