- There are two forts in Mac Mahon's field near the Showgrounds. The remains of the [?] and stones are still to be seen, standing up in a row. It is said that a man named Mister Malone cut sticks in one of the Forts. He heard footsteps walking around the fort and a voice said "Stop cutting those sticks".
