Eamon Walsh (Tonreigh, Rathanny) says:-
In the townland of Lisooleen on Dick Godley's farm, there is a fort. A good story is told in connection with this fort. It is said that a man , not of this world, passes from Hickey's fort (already mentioned) to this fort every night through James Scanlon's yard. A girl working there was cutting small sticks for the morning's fire and there were two doors in the house. She was standing in the middle of the floor between the two doors when she suddenly saw a flash of lightning and a man passed from one door to the other and disappeared. Lights were also seen there. - 6. John Sheehan (Ballincullig) says that in his district there are two forts, one at Kiely's and another at Tom Quinlan's. Kiely's fort is surrounded by a round ditch and has one gap on the east side. It is supposed that a big stone is buried down in the ground near this gap(continues on next page)
