    Ballintoher Fort :- This fort
    is situated in Behan's land
    It is round in shape and
    was surrounded by a ditch
    part of which only now
    remains It seems to have
    been covered with trees also
    but these have been all
    cut down. In the centre
    can be traced what seems
    to be the remains of an
    old quarry.
    About thirty or forty
    years ago this place was
    greatly spoken of by all the
    people and it was said that
    the "good people" lived there.
    Fairies were seen these by
    day as well as by night.
    One day as Micheal Behan
    was lying ill on his bed
