    Fairy Forts
    There are many fairy forts in this district, two of the best known of which are Lisbride and Rath Connor.
    The first is situated in Lisbride in the townland of Lisbride, in the parish of Roscommon, and the other is situated in the townland of Athleague in the parish of Athleague in Co. Roscommon.
    There is a fence of earth around Lisbride and there is a fence of earth around Rath Connor also.
    The latter is not an important one. It was not known that there was any entrance hole into these forts.
    There is a story connected with Lisbride the name of which is "The Three Princes and the Fairy"
