   There are a lot of fairy forts in this district. They are commonly known in this district by the name of liss but some people call them rings.
   There is a fort in the townland of Pike and there are two in Lettergorman. Each one can be seen from the other. All the forts are circular in shape. There is a fence of earth around each.
   There is an entrance hole in the centre of the fort. Some time ago two men went down the hole of the fort and took a lamp with them but when they went down a part of the way the lamp quenched and they had to come back.
