  2. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are two fairy forts in the school district. One is in the townland of Coolderry and the other in Cloonashade. They are not within view of each other. The forts are circular in shape. There are a few bushes round them. They are called forts. There is a place in the side to get in.
    I do not know who built them, or for what purpose they were built. I do not know if the Danes were connected with them.
