    always wealthy and happy after it. The fort in Chamberlainstown contains about a quarter of an acre of land in it. there are all kinds of whitethorn bushes growing in it. Cattle, sheep and horses go into it and eat the grass in it. Nobody ever cut the bushes in it. There is not hole in the centre of it. It is built on a hill Rathard. Rath and Chamberlainstown are about a half a mile apart. A big stream was beside the fort in Chamberlainstown.
