- 1) Doonane - There is an old fort in Doonane called the Knockawn. There is a large white thorn bush growing in the centre and white thorn bushes grow around it. Long ago there was supposed to be a castle there long ago and the parth between the bushes is supposed to be the track of the carriages which travelled there long ago.
2) Fiddane - There is an old fort in Fiddane and it is haunted. Light was seen in it once. Thre was a big black cat as big as a dog in it and he killed all the cats he could catch. A man named Thomas Carr, Fiddane, Newport, Co. Tipp saw a white woman in it one night. People are afraid to cut bushes for the good people would haunt them.- Collector
