  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are four big forts and one small in our district. There is a fort near our district and that district is called Rathosey and from that rath Rathosey got its name. There are two more raths in Rathosey. They are circular in shape and have an entrance.
    There is a house being built in Coolaney and there is an rath close by it. There is a stone in the middle of it and a hole under it.
    There is a big tree in our wood and it is supposed that the fairies dance there every night.
