- There are no forts in our fields, but there are four forts in the school district. There is one in Brianstown, and there is another in Lis-Nurland, and another in Aughrea, and another in Corteen. The one in Brianstown is near Josep Corcoran's house. The one that is in Corteen is near Josep Fanning. The one that is in Aughrea is near Tom Divines, and the one that is in Lis-Nurland is near James Murray's house. One night Daniel Hoey, Mollolagher saw a cat in the fort field and he wanted to catch him. Every-time he had his hand on the cat it would run away. The cat kept at that until she had him at the fort and then he thought it better to go home.
