    (continued from previous page)
    A tunnel runs from the cave under Moynalty. One day a boy who used to play on the bag-pipes went into the cave.
    He went on down the tunnel and he never returned. He was heard playing music down underneath Moynalty.
    Forts are never interfered with because it is very unlucky to distrube them. It is supposed that it was the Danes that built them.
