  2. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are two forts in Ballybawn. Lis a' bhóthair agus Lis a' bhogais. There is supposed to be a crock of gold in Lis a ' bhogais and there are two white hounds minding it. It is surrounded by a fence of earth. Lis a' bhóthair is circular in shape. It is surrounded by a fence of earth and stone. There is a big flag covering the entrance hole. There are about four fields between the two forts Lis a' bhóthair and Lis a' bhogais.
