    Share Share Post
    There is a fort in Molachy Quinn's Land at the back of my house. There is one ring of earth around it. Bushes are planted on it now. There ws a hole in the middle of it but it is closed with clay and stones now. This fort is fifteen yards wide. It is called the "lios".
    There is an-other fort in Corker in miss Mary Ward's land. It is round in shape with one ring of earth around it. They call it the lios.
