   There is a field in the town land of Cloghogue Upper in the parish of Ballyrush, in which there were several forts, in which it is said many curious incidents happened.

   One of these incidents follows-
   A young child from the townland, a little boy went out to play in the fort on day. He was an unusually pretty child, and his parents were very proud of him. He came in from the fort in the evening, and sat by the fire for a few minutes. He then got up, [?] intending to go to the room. His mother however noticed that he wasn’t able to make his way, and she asked him, what was the matter with him. He told her that he couldn’t see, and from that day forth, until he was an old man, he never regained his sight.
   [?] people believe that it was the “people” of the fort, who were responsible for his blindness
