- There is a fort situated on Ramonan hill. Long long ago when the English were fighting in Ireland the Irish used to go into that fort to defend themselves from the English.
The Irish made a very big hole in the fort and lived there because they were afraid the English might attack them. The people around here say that long ago that it was fairies lived there. If any person touches that hole or digs a sod in the fort something will happen them. The hole was covered about three ago, and the man who covered it died about a month after.- Collector
