    There is another fort in Mr Scotts land in Quighlough. It is a high mount about the height of a tall man. There are white-thorn and black-thorn quicks growing round it. I heard that it was a Danish fort.
    There is another one in Mr Dunn's land in Drumcoo. It is a big circle of trees, the fort is on a hill.
