  1. There are nineteen forts in the townland. They have no name only fort.
    Most of the forts are in view of each other.
    There is a fort in our field. It is circular in shape and there are whitethorn trees around it. There is a round hole down in the ground. There is a little ditch around it There is an entrance to it. It is not known who lived in it.
    There were never any fairy people seen about the fort. There are no stories about it. There were no wild animals seen about it. There was never any music heard about it.
