  1. Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is an old fort on a hill about half a mile from this school. It was called Tubber Fort.
    Long ago when the Danes were invading Ireland, the Irish people built this fort to protect themselves from the Danes, it was supposed to be one of the biggest forts in Donegal.
