There is another about a quarter of a mile away. In one of them there is a hollow in the middle of it and in the other there is a clump of bushes. Near the other one there is a cahar where the priest's used say mass long ago and there is a heap of stones sorrounding it.
Around the other fort there is a mound of earth. Around the second fort there are stones. One time there was a light seen in the stones. No one cuts sticks in the forts. A long time ago there was a man cutting sticks and when he was cutting a big stump a voice shouted out and said not to cut any sticks and the hatchet was flung out of his hands.
