“There is a fort in Delahunty's land.”
There is a fort in Delahunty's land. It is only a small distance from our house. It is round. There is a wall all round it. There are ash trees growing at the back of the wall.
One day Mr Redden was cutting a tree in the fort. He heard music and he left the tree there and he never brought it home.
One night as he was out late he saw a light near it. Nobody ever takes sticks out of the fort.
There is a gap going into it.The trees are all the same height. My Grand-father said that he saw fairies in it one night and they bootball kicking football. when he was coming home from Ennis
