Story of a Fort

31st May 1938

There is a fort in Carramore in the Parish of Balla in the Barony of Carra. Men who passed by it at night heard great nice singing and one of the men began to dance and he could not stop.
On another occasion as Patrick Hyland of Ballinhoe in the Parish of Balla was passing by it going with pigs to the market, he looked into the fort and he saw a crowd of cattle on it and the fairies buying and selling the cattle.
He was filled with fear, as he went on a few miles of the road. He could hear them talking over his head.
