    Forts
    There are a few Forts in this parish.
    One in O'Halloran's field in Middleline, and on in Cappaduff in Murphy's field. There are two other forts in Clounty.
    One is in Henry Bugler's field and the other in Patrick Surack's field in Clounty.
    There are trees growing around these forts, and it is said that it is not right to root these trees. It is said that a man went to root the trees in Halloran's and the growbar was put flying out of his hand.
