  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    Long ago they were people taken away by the fairies and sometimes when they were left back they would be found astride on a Buachalan. Fairies used to dwell in forts and there used to be lights seen from one fort to the other fort.
    There is a fort in Foxborough with three large rings around it. Long ago there was music heard and horses heart trotting in it.
