  1. There is a Fort in Bearna Bán

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Bearna Bán. It is of a round shape.
    There was at one time a family living near this fort.
    One day a woman whom they did not know came in.
    She asked for a pot in which to boil her clothes, and they gave it to her.
    She brought home the pot in the evening, and she told them never to put out ashes without first wetting it.
