There are ruins of dwelling houses to be seen in a few places. Years ago emigration to America was common. There is one farmhouse in Fort Middle owned by a Mr. Hartigan. This house was owned by the Hartigans for generation back. It is now falling into ruin as there has been no one living in it for over 20 years. The land in Fort Middle is very fertile and level. It is watered by spring wells and the River Maigue.
