Fairy Forts And Mounds

by Hob Hill April 11, 2021

South Wales Daily News

December 27th, 1898

Fairy Mounds

“Some of the mounds are hallowed out beneath into winding passages, and these “forts,” as they are popularly called, ring with echoes if one dares to stamp on the ground above. Only a stranger, however, ventures so far to brave the wrath of the “dancing folk.” The owner of the ground would soon put a stop to such sacrilege, lest the outraged fairy-folk should take speedy revenge on his family or his cattle. Even to pick a flower from one of the fairy mounds is regarded as unlucky.”
