    There are many forts in our district, there are two in the townland of Ballyhorgan. There is a big blackthorn tree growing in the middle of the fort. The ditch around the fort is made of stone and earth. There are whitethorn trees grown in the ditch of the fort. There was a light seen in the fort in Ballyhorgan last winter. It is said that the Danes first brought the furze bush to Ireland to shelter their forts.
