- There is a fort in Mrs Parker's field in Dernagolia. It is on a high hill in a corner of a field. There is a high mound of earth round it. There are very few that will cut a bush in this fort There is a meeting of cats a couple of times a year & all the cats are supposed to be around it. No one is allowed to cut a bush or something will happen to them. No one is supposed to plough inside the mound that is around it. In some forts there is money hidden & anyone that dreams of it three nights is supposed to get it but there is a fairy watching it and it is very seldom that anyone ever gets the money.
