There are many fairy forts in this district, two of the best known of which are Lisbride and Rath Connor.
The first is situated in Lisbride in the townland of Lisbride, in the parish of Roscommon, and the other is situated in the townland of Athleague in the parish of Athleague in Co. Roscommon.
There is a fence of earth around Lisbride and there is a fence of earth around Rath Connor also.
