- There are not many forts in the Country. The forts were where the people used to make their homes long ago.
They used to have a big dyke round the fort. And it filled with water to provent them from the wild animals. But when the wild animals were killed. No one used to make their homes there.
It is said that the faries used to make their homes there. If you go into a fort without blessing youself you will have bad luck- Collector
