    There is no lios in the school district. The nearest lios to us is in Doonbeg. It is shaped like a hill and flat in the centre. It is in Considine's farm in the townland of Rhynagonaught. It is called a fort. There is a grazing field around it. There is a hole in the centre. People go in around it. Nothing ever happened them. There was no one of them (the forts) ever destroyed. The people say that it is not lucky to have anything to do with forts.
