   About fifteen years ago Hugh O'Donell, a native of Monedaragh came home from America and he noticed a similar fort on one of his fields and he began to scold his brother because he did not remove it, and he said that it only spoiled the look of his field. His brother warned him not to interfere with it as it belonged to the fairies but he had his own way and before he had it half completed, his mind became clouded and remained so until the day of his death.
