- There are three forts in my district and they are very nicely built. There is a fort in our field at home. There was nothing ever seen in it. There is a wall all around it and there are three gaps in it. There are three rings in it and the middle of the Fort is not level with the rest of the land.
O Keeffe's Fort is also built in the same manner. No stories are heard about these two forts. There are alot of stories told about Barry's fort. The wall around the fort was made. In the night it was knocked again. There were fairies and lights seen knocking the wall all night. They were called out of the bed and they did not rise.
No one touches the Forts in my district. If they did something would happen to themselves or their cattle. There are bushes growing around all the Forts. It was the Danes who lived and had our Forts long ago.
