  2. There is a fort down the Ballykissane Road it is in the fields, then there is another one down further where all the unbaptised children are buried and it is said that long ago people used to hear children crying around there.
    There are a great many more forts around Killorglin. there is a fort in Douglas and there are a great many very tall trees growing around it. It is very dark inside it and it is very lonely there.
