  1. There are not many forths in this place. From the top of one of our fields there are three to be seen. there is one in Killuran in Kelly's field, one in Moroney's and one in Mac Namara's.
    They are all round-shaped and they all are on the tops of hills. There were lovely lights seen in one of the forths. Nobody ever went near it again. Sometimes cries are heard in the forth when a person dies around the place.
