- There are two forts in Mr Rooney's land. They are round in shape and there is a ditch all round them.
Once upon a time a boy was passing by the fort and he saw a pair of boots in it. He looked at them at and saw that they were new. He took them home and wore them the first day. That night everything that was in the house was thrown around the floor. When the boy's father called him to get up he was not able because his two legs were stiff and he was black and blue.
It is said the fairies beat him.
