  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are two forts in Ballyhorgan district. The two forts are different. One of them is surrounded with a ditch and the other is surrounded with a black thorn hedge. You could see one fort from the other. There is a hole in the center of it. It is round in shape. The land inside the fort is lower than the land outside.
