There is a fort in Drumlion in the Parish of Ballintemple and it is called "Baxters Fort."
It is said that there are two graves on that fort and that there are bushes growing round them. It is said that the people were shot during the trouble-some times and there was a girl of the name Mary Ellen Gumly who saw two men carrying a dead man to the fort, and there is a planting and when they would kill the people, the men that would kill them they would run to the fort for protection.
It is said that there was a man killed at what is called the Beech-tree at "Bannons hill" in the Parish of Ballintemple and the Human Blood was seen on the road for some days after.
