    Share Share Post
    There are three Fairy forts in the school district. they are called forts. There is two in the town-land of Curry-Kirwan, and one in Curry-Mc Manus. you can them from one another.
    They are round in shape, there are bushes and dykes round them.
    There is a hole in the centre of one fort. people have often gone down through the hole, and have seen rooms, and stones.
    We never heard who built the forts.
