    “There are many fairy forts in my school district.”

    There are many fairy forts in my School district.
    They are mostly called after the old Irish People and the Fairy Folk.
    Some of the forts are Rathurles. This is a large Rath with a ditch around it and it was called after a great fair which was held every three years long ago near Nenagh.
    Rathmartin was called after a man whose name was Martin and he was killed there.
