- There are more than half a dozen forts or earthen mounds on the surrounding hills in Drumholm. They are described by some as Danish forts. They are believed however, to be the work of the Irish, and to have been constructed anterior to the Danish period. The Danes when they invaded Ireland came to plunder and seldom took up any possession far from the sea coast, whereas these forts are found inland as well.
