  2. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Tureendaniel in a field of
    Denis O'Sullivan's. The ruins of it are still to be seen. It is enclosed around with a stone fence. People say should never go in to it. There is light seen in this fort very often and music is heard.
    There is another fort a few fields away from this fort in a field of Patrick Browne's. This fort is supposed to be very remarkable, because long ago people used be seen coming out of it and driving in cattle and milking them and driving them out again. People are also to be heard singing beautiful songs and playing beautiful music and dancing.
    The forts are supposed to mad of stone and earth.
