    About Forts:-
    There is a fort in John Kelly's field of Ballywalter and there was a stile on the bounds ditch between Murphy's and Kelly's.
    One evening there was a man of the locality coming home from work and he saw a child as he thought sitting on the stile. He thought it was one of the children of the locailty but when he drew near it disappeared.
    He hurried to where the stile was and he searched every place around but he saw no more of the child
