  1. I only know of one fort in the school district. It is called a fort. I do not know what townland is it in. There is a fort in view of it. It is the square in shape. There is no fence around it. There is no entrance to it. I do not know who built them. I do not know of any stories of the Danes connected with them.
    There are no stories told of cats or other animals in the neighbourhood. The owner of the fort never interfered with it, but he lets cattle graze on it.
    Nothing remarkable has ever been heard or seen in it.
