  1. There is an old fort in Ballytigue and there are a lot of whitethorn bushes growing around it and there is a moot of clay around it and there is an underground passage there since long ago. There are doors and hobs and fire places inside underground. There was a man going to the fair and he had an ass and car and he saw the motor coming down from the fort and lights in it and the ass got frightened and the motor went into Kiltoola Churchyard. There is another fort in Blakemount and there are a lot of trees growing around it and there was light seen there.
