  1. There are five or six forts near my house. There is no particular name on any fort. There are two forts in Shureeney one near Castle brinn one in Mr . Fitzgerald's land and one in Ballysheen in James Keogh's land. He cuts hay within the ring of earth each year with a mowing machine.
    A ghost was seen near Kilkishen by some of the neighbours of the place. It appeared near a fort called ''The Lissahan.'' It appeared first like a statue then it got bigger and went up into the clouds.
