- Lisheens and Forts
There are alot of lisheens around this school distract.
There is one at the back of my house but there is no hole in the middle of it.
There is a lisheen in Scotland a few miles from Glenamaddy and there is a strange hare in it and people have tried to kill him with guns and hounds but none of them have killed him so far and he is supposed to be a fairy hare.
There is another lisheen near Esker but my people do not know anything about it.
There is a cat supposed to be seen in the lisheen near Scotland and he is supposed to be seen very often and of different colours each time and he is also supposed to be a fairy cat and that lios is called lios Alban.
People do not sew crops in lisheens because they saw that the fairies would put a bad curse on them(continues on next page)
