  3. Cromlech - Three Forts

    Share Share Post
    In the townland where I live (Scrahanard) there are three forts within 200 yards of one another. There is a passage underground from one to the other. There is a field not far from the forts called Páirc na Béillic. In the field there is a cromlech, four flags standing, two about six feet long on each side, and two about four feet long at each end. There is a huge flat stone resting on top of these. There are some letters cut on the stone, but people cannot make out what they are. All the old people said there is money hidden somewhere in this townland.

    The passages underground are about four feet high and three feet wide. There are flags over the passages, and earth. It is believed that in olden times soldiers used these passages in time of war as a means of protection from the enemy.
