There is another fort on Mr. Coughlan's lands at Carrigaline. It is near the road. The cross near it is called the Liss Cross. Two men named John Twomey and John Carroll of Liss Cross lifted the stone at the opening with a bar. They went in and explored the inside. All they could see inside were twelve shelves made of earth against the wall. It was all one room. There is a man named Jack Mahony Killnanully who saw a dog going into the fort. He is 70 years old.
