    54: Legends connected with local fort:-
    There is a fort at Raheen three miles south west of Hacketstown. It is about five perches in diameter. The owner will not till this circular piece of ground when hilling the field, although it is a great inconvenience to him to go round it when ploughing and harrowing the field, as he regards the place with a kind of supernatural fear.
