- There is an old fort in a field of Mandy McGettigans. This field is called Dunnin. The fort is round and there is a fence round it. People say that it was the fairies who made it. The sound of a fiddle was often heard from it early in the morning. There was a light often seen at it and on one moonlight night two men were seen fighting near it.
