  1. A fort is situated by the side of a small river which flows through our land, and there is a hedge growing along the top of the wall. There was light seen there once Green grass grows around it. People are afraid to "clip" the hedge lest some bad thing should happen to them. There is a person seen walking around it every "New Years" morning. Pat Clifford, Foilduff saw this person.
