- There are several old forts round the parish of Glencar. These are rooms under ground which the Danes lived in long ago.
There is an old fort in Droumalonhart in the west of Glencar. There is a big hole down in the ground and stepping stones going down.
Under the ground are two rooms. These are made of gravel. The old people used to say that nobody should go near a fort alone.
