    June 2, 1938
    When the people took the stones off the fort and built a bridge with them it was knocked in the morning. They built it up again but it fell down again. Then put them back where they got them and built the bridge with other stones. The bridge with the fort stones had fallen so often that the Guards had to go up and tell them to leave the stones where they got them. The name of the fort is Lior na nzabap. There are three ring around it.
