- There are some old "Liosanna" as we know them in my school area. There is a very big one in Kilraine on a place which we know as Forthill. It is a raised mound with a ditch around it. Some people say that it was made there by the Tuatha De Danaan when they came first to Ireland. They are all in sight of one and the other. The old people say that if an enemy came on one of them at night they would set up a big fire and when the rest would see it they would all gather.
