    There are three forts in Rinroe, (near Grange) in view of one another. They are all circular in shape. They are heaps of stones with bushes built on top of them. They are about one hundreds yards from one another. There is a small entrance hole to each of these forts.
    A man once dreamt that there was gold under one of the forts, but when he dug it up all he found was shells. There was a piper heard playing in this fort also.
