  1. Fairy Forts
    There are Fairy Forts in the school district namely, Jer Sullivan's Fort, Mrs Brosnan's Fort and John Daly's Fort. They are all joined by underground caves. They are all in view of one another. They are in the townland of Dromore. There is an entrance hole in the centre of each one of them. They are round in shape. There are trees growing around each one of them. People have gone down in them. Jer Sullivan , Dromore is one of them.
