- There is a fort in Brianstown. It is surrounded by a row of beech trees. There is a large heap of stones in the middle of it, which is supposed to be the grave of some great chief. It is situated on a large hill and it is supposed to be the Danes that built it. There are four rings in it. If any-body cut a bush in it or burned a lime kiln, his cattle would die.
