    The ghost makes a noise at a lone bush in this fort every day. There was some money found in this fort. Once this long bush was dug up, but nothing was found. The ghost never came back when the bush was dug up.

    “There is a fort in Farell's field....”

    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Farell's field. It is about 100 yards from the main road and west of Bunbrosna, Ballinalack. There is a little bank build of clay around the fort. It is a three cornered field.
    A man named John Farell of Bunbrosna went out into his own yard and then went down to his field where the fort was. As he was passing the fort he heard sweet music. He went home and he came back the next night and still he heard the music. The music was heard three nights in succession. He often went back to the fort at night but never heard any music. John Farell is 60 years.
