Forts And Fairies
It is said that coloured lights are seen in the two forts in Ballybane Lisavoher and Lisavogy.
People also say that they heard the noise of buckets and noise like some-body would be sweeping a floor; and they say that men were seen drinking tea there. I also heard that fairy pigs and fairy cows were seen there.
I heard this story that a man ploughed inside in the fort and that night his daughter was passing by that field and they say that the fairies beat her and kicked her until they nearly killed her.- Collector
