    Share Share Post
    There is a fairy fort in a field of John Carmichael's. Ardmore, Muff, Co. Donegal. This fort is a round shape. There is a ring of earth round it, it is about eight feet in height. When you are standing on the top of the ring you can see ten standing stones. Fairies are supposed to dance in it on moon light nights.
