  1. Sharkey's Fort (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    field about a three minutes walk from the fort I have already mentioned (Corcorans Fort) But in this fort there is no cave or trees around it. All that is in it is one big tree and a round ring of earth.
    This is supposed to be a great fairy home. One night a man was passing and he saw a light coming from Corcoran's form and a number of small lights also.
    Another story is that a woman was cutting nettles for hens one evening late and a breeze of wind came and swept the bag from her and she followed it and when she reached it there were a number of hens eating Indian meal out of the same bag and when she approached it they disappeared and she never saw them after.
