   Rathanna agus Liosanna There is a lios in Mr Kirwans land called "lios na brìone". It is the fort of battles and it is said that battles were fought in it long ago. There is also one in Burkes land. A large number of bones were found in it when it was dug, also a bronze buckle which is now in the possession of Mr. Burke. It is said that if crops of any kind sown over a lios they could not be boiled.
