- (continued from previous page)People that explored it said that the cave leads from the moat to the fort. There is a fort in Lynam's field and it is called a fairy fort. All around the fort, there are heaps of bushes growing. It is said that the faries lived there long ago. The owners of those forts never interfere with them. I know of people that interfered with forts and nothing happened them. It is said that if you cut a bush in a fort you will have bad luck the whole year.
