    The principal fort in the village of Lissatunna is in the land of Thomas Deely. It is surrounded by three rings of earth. There is a cave on the middle of it and it is leading to the other forts in the village.
    There are two other fort in a field away from it, one in Cooney's land and the other in Callanan's, each of them surrounded by a ring of earth.
