- Rath Maoil
There is a famous fort in the village of Cleaboy, near the pational school of Ballintubber. It is called the flat - headed fort and it is also called the fort of the fairies. At twelve o' clock in the night if you were passing by this fort, you would see a woman dressed in white walking round the fort and while she is walking round this fort she utters a deep mournful cry. If she saw anybody coming towards her she disappears in to the ground. This well is also a lovely spring well and many people draw water from it.
