    there are trees and bushes growing on it. I do not know of any entrance hole in the cnetre of it. There are no stories connected with this Fort.
    On the Killucan road about a quarter of a mile from this school there is another Fort. This one is situated in Keegan's field in the townsland of Edmondstown. This one is also circular in shape. There are no stories.
