- Liss-Forragh
There is another one in Liss Forragh. it belongs to Tom Lavin of Tibohine. Now this is a very remarkable fort. There are a lot of remarkable trees growing in it such as laurel-ivy, Hazel, Black thorn and white thorn. There is a very beautiful cave in it one of the biggest in all Roscommon. It starts not far from the fort and comes out at the hill of Keash. Because the old people say that there was a little brown dog belonging to Own Lavin of Lisacurka who went into it and was gone for a few weeks. There was a beggar man who saw the same dog coming out of it at the hill of Keash. This cave is beautiful because it was opened in some parts and all sorts of beautiful rooms and lovely shaped stones in ti. It doesn't start altogether in the middle of the fort but about four or five yards below it. It is called Liss Forragh.
