    There is a fort in Carron in Cahers'
    farm ,and the antiquariana came there from Dublin and hired a gang of Carron-men to open it up.They found hundreds of bones of deers and skeletons of human beings .
    There was a stone stairs down to it .They brought them away to the museum in Dublin. This was done three years ago. There are many forts in Ennis. Some have three of four mounds of earth around it.
