  1. Lisheens and Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are three lisheens in this district but my parents never heard of them been called and names.
    There is one in John boughlan's land and there is one in Martin gibbins and there is one in Scotland.
    They are within sight of eachother and they are round in shape.
    There is a hedge and bank around them but there is no hole in them.
    We never heard a story about any of them but it is that that the Hanes made the lisses and that they used live in them.
    The fairies are supposed to live in them now.
    There used to be weasles seen in them and one time my grand-father and father started to root out a bank of the one in out fo field but the weasles ran them off.
    The people wouldn't do that not for fear something bad would happen to them.
