- In the townland of Ramore there is a fort called Cúl Bán. There is a circle of bushes around the fort. The fort covers about twenty perches of land. In the middle of the fort there is a big greek stone, and there is a cat seen time after time siting on the stone.
There is also a light seen travelling round the fort about midnight. Cars with lights are seen going into the fort between twelve and two o'clock at night. People are heard laughing and shouting at those particular hours. Men with red caps are seen hurling in this spot. Hunts men and horses used to appear here some years ago. Dancing and music are also heard.
