    There is a townland called Lisduff, this is called the Black Fort
    In a field is a large split rock dating back to pre-historic times.
    There are a lot of markings on this stone. The people say the sea was round this big stone at one time.
    "Aiden Bawn" contains flashes of light in the ground and they are to be sun at night.
    Owen Kelly lives in Aiden Bawn, he is a farmer.
    There was a castle in Willowbrook too. It had 136 windows, it was burned down. They had a big ice-house under the ground near the castle where they used to keep the butler and everything.
    I was in it myself.
