    Fairy-Forts
    There are not many fairy-forts in my district.
    There's a fairy-fort about two and a quarter miles south of Kilmallock. The fairy-fort is owned by Michael Dolan, Ballingaddy Kilmallock Co. Limerick.
    The are not many trees growing around it because a number of them were cut down.
    I have heard that one day this man went to the fort to cut down a tree. The morning after when he awoke from his sleep his eyebrows and the hair of his head had fallen off. Ever since bad luck always upon him.
