    A Fort
    There is a fort in Altbawn. There is a passage in the South side. There is an other passage going through with an entrance to the south side. There is a white thorn bush growing on the top of it and the old people say it is not wright to cut it. There are a lot of rooms in side in it. The Fir Bolgs were living in it long ago. It is in Michael McNicholas' land.
