  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are several fairy forts in the district. There are two in Regaskin and one in Raheg and another in Lismagratty. They are within view of one another. They are circular in shape. There is a fence of earth around each. There are "forts" around us but they are not "Fairy Forts" but waste land which at one time was planted with trees. They are all circular in shape too and are on tops of hills.
