Cave Hill: McCart's fort - local custom pre 1865
« on: Wednesday 18 November 09 07:39 GMT (UK) »
In 1865 my great grandfather wrote:

"I put my fingers in the hole in the stone on McCart's fort, & pulled out "nails" - according to the old custom"

Can someone tell me the meaning of this custom?

Thanks,
Mike
