- There is a fort at the back of Cloonarrow school and another in Peter Madden's land which is, also, in Cloonarrow. The two forts are almost opposite each other. There is a fort in Andrew Hopkin's land in Clonard and it is in a line with the Cloonarrow forts. The three forts are circular in shape and are surrounded by earthen ditches. The fort at the back of the school has very old bushes round it and they are very much alike. The bushes are growing on an earthen ditch that surrounds the fort.
