- (continued from previous page)fort is made of earth. There are a lot of trees growing in Mr. John M Goldrick's fort. There are only a few trees growing at the edge of all the other forts.
In some forts there is an entrance hole. There is no entrance hole in any of these forts. The owners of the land where the forts are built never interfered with them because it is said it is not lucky. The fairies are supposed to have built the forts and they live in them. Sometimes there is a light seem in Mr Tom Kelly's fort.
