- There are two forts around this locality viz. 1 Currigan's fort and 2 Curraghleigh fort.
Currigan's fort is situated in Loughisle Kilcommon. It is so called because it is situated in Currigan's land. It consists of level land surrounded by a circular ditch. There is no gap or opening of any kind in the ditch.
There is a big ask tree growing in the middle of it but no one seems to know if it were ever used as a burial place.
It is said that a strange animal used to be seen here long ago, but not even the oldest people can tell anything about him.
