- There is a fort over near Billy Gilhooly's Billy said that he often saw fairies at it. There is a very big bush at it and he said that the fairies used to be dancing around it. They used to be playing music at the fort also. I often saw the fort. Long ago the old people used that in some forts there are kings buried. They also used to say there was gold in them. In some forts there are three bushes.
