  1. There are three forts in our school district. There is one in Cloonashade and one in Tibarney and another in Carrick. They are not in view of each other. There are trees around them . The forts are circular in shape. 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. It is said that the Danes were connected with the one in Carrick.
