    fort, but that there is in a nearby one. The entrance was discovered by men who dug for it and the interior was explored but without result. After this strange lights were seen between the latter fort and another one. All these forts are said to be connected and after these strange happenings, the owners of the land never interfered with any of them when planting crops.
    In the olden times this fort was called a Lios, but now the name has practically died away.
