  1. Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are many forts in the country namely, Cappy fort, Lisdonan fort, Knockbride fort, and Lisgar fort.
    I was in Cappy fort and Lisdonan fort. There are a lot of trees, whin, broom, holly white thorn, briers, and wild flower and Crabh trees in Cappy fort.
    There are five gaps on it. There are a lot of stumps of trees in it.
    People used to light fires in it on Easter Sunday and boil eggs in it.
    Long ago people said that forts were the homes of the fairies.
    The fairies used to play music and dance in it
