- There are a great many forts in this district. They are called "Liss" except one in Belisker. It is said that it was the Danes that built them. They are all in sight of each other. Every morning they used to light a fire on them if all was well. If anything was wrong they throw grass on the fire to make smoke. Then their neighbours went to their assistance.
