Collected from Michael Brady Lisatoo Laragh Cavan
Written by Michael Reilly Castletara Castletara CavanThere is a fort in the townland of Creeveland. It is on a farm own ed by Robert Rowntree. It is a round shape with a whiney deyke round it. There is an enterance through a gap. There are three forts in view of it. There is no enterance in the centre.
There was nothing remarkable ever seen about the fort. Long ago Robert Rountrees father used to labour the fort and their cows used to die without cause. - Collector
