    Farmer: I didn’t know felled forts were monuments

    Yes they are iron age homesteads, nothing to do with fairy's, but our ancestors, if anyone destroys them they should be rightly punished.

    My father used to say that a lot of Piseog stuff was made up at the time of the War Of Independence & Civil War. He reckoned it was a way of explaining away the strange noises and movements at night, which were lads moving guns and ammunition.

    I wouldn’t have been a big believer in this sort of thing but there was half a tree fell that is out standing on its own (some call it a fairy tree)in a field I have rented.
    after the storm I was in clearing a couple of other trees with the tractor and loader and I just lifted this and carried it over to other trees that had fell. I cut it up with the chainsaw and there were a few branches left in a heap. Just as I was driving off I drove over one of the branches it swung up wedged in between the back wheel and mudguard and ripped the back mudguard off . Superstition or not I’ll be leaving the rest of it where it is

    That's just poor driving, can't blame the fairies for that!

    I wouldn’t go near them. One or two stories locally that would have you giving fairy forts a wide berth.

    Also a 9 year thread bump is good going!

    I think the OP might have been a troll so let’s leave this one rest in peace.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
