    I know of only one fort around the town of Balieboro.
    It is situated on the top of a hill about four or five hundred yards from the town in the downland of Landeragee.
    It is called Carrall's fort because a man Carroll owns the field in which it is.
    It is about twenty feet high and is about fifty feet in diameter. There is a dee[ tench around it also.
