    The second fort is a lios in Clasheens and it is much larger one than that in Lissivigeen.
    The third is a Cahair in Ahern's farm in Minish which is surrounded by a stone fence about five feet in height.
    The Cahair itself covers about half an acre of land and is only about four hundred yards away from the lios at Clasheens but it is bigger.
    The fourth which is in Ardanaenig in McCarthy's farm is also surrounded by a double fence.
    The fifth is a fort in Ballaugh in Connors farm about a quarter of a mile from the one in Ardanaenig. Unlike the other forts it is not built on a hill but in a hollow and may be seen from the road.
