- One upon a time there was an old fort at Cashelard and there were fairies in the fort. One night a man was going from rambling. He saw a light in the fort and went up to it. When he went up to the lights went on up the hill and the man followed it. The little fairies came out of the fort and danced round the man. The lights went out and disappeared. The man went home and told his wife. The man died the next week.
