  1. An Old Fort

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Scardan there is an old fort to be seen. There is a big ring of bushes and in the middle of them there is a big hole covered with big flat flags and you could walk under the ground for about a mile. There were fairies seen in this fort and they were dressed in red and they could be heard playing music.
