  1. Lisheens and Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are three lisheens in this district.
    I never heard of a lisheen called any other name.
    There is one in John coughlan's landed another in Martin Gibbin's and there is one in Scotland.
    They are within sight of each other. and they are round in shape.
    There are hedges around them but there is no hole in them.
    It is said that the Danes made the lesses and that they used live in them.
    Weasles live in them now.
