    “There are many kinds of forts in this district.”

    There are many kinds of forts in this district. I can describe one I know very well in Mrs. Farrel's field. It is a small bridge running under the railway one mile from Newtownforbes station. It is said that the black and Tans hid themselves in it. When you look into it you can see nothing but darkness all round you. It is said that nobody ever went into it since that time.
