    “There is a fort called a Dún in Corragaun.”

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort called a Dún in Corragaun. It has a round shape with a hump in the middle.
    There is a well beside it.
    There was a house near it and the woman of the house used bring water from the well. One day when she was lifting the water, she fell into the well, and when she came out she was no bigger than a child. She got sick and very soon died.
