    "Leack". There is a hole under it which no one could explore. A timber house stood in those lisses during the Dane invasion. This were all burnt down.
    There is another fort in Rathcullen. This fort was excavated last year by the Archaeological Society. Some few valuable articles were found. It was in this fort that St. Finbarr was born.
    The farmers who own the fields in which the forts are, are never interfered with.
