  1. There is a fort in the village of Lehid. The people in this district call it a Dun. It is a square hole in the ground with a thorn bush beside it. It is on a level with the land.
    It is like a tunnel under the ground. Nobody could go in to it because it is closed up with big rocks. It is said that there were people buried in it long-ago.
