  1. (continued from previous page)
    There is another fort at Ballabin Ashbourne on Mr. Duffy's land. The ring on which the fairies trod is as plain as the broad daylight as the people say around my district.
    There is another fairy ring on Mrs Griffin's land at Rollestown. There are some trees surrounding it. It is the remains of an old fort which was there long. It is known as 'The Fairy Ring' near Swords.
