Close to our school there is a fort or a lios. It is circular in shape.
There is only the remains of one fence around this fort now. There is no
trace of a cave in this fort. Right beside this fort little children
are buried. The old people call this graveyard a Cilleachán. There are
no children buried there now. This fort is called Lios na Sidheog. The
Bean Sidhe has been heard crying from a stream at the back of the school
across to the fort on several occasions. Our teacher heard her crying
on one occasion. One night at about twelve o'clock and the next day a
member of a very old family was dead. This fort has never been
excavated.
