- There is a fort above Derrig's old house in Autawalla. There are a ring of stones all around the fort. When Mick Derrig and Patrick Derrig used to be coming from visiting they used to see fairies dancing around the fort. Every night when they would look out the door they would see lights jumping in and out of the fort. They would be afraid to go out at night without a light. But after a while they got used to the lights and they used to go out regularly then. No one ever see lights there nowadays.I heard this story from Anne King, Lammore, Liscarney Post Office, Westport
