    There are two forts in my district. Patrick Dowds fort and Mathew Connors fort. They are all circular in shape and a stone wall around them and trees growing everywhere through them. There is nothing ancient about Mathew Connors fort. In Patrick Dowds fort there is a cave which is under the earth. It stretches to Fermoyle house. People often went into it. There are several entrances inside and there is an entrance which cannot be gone into. There was a rock outside. Mathew O Connor and other men were trying to lift it because.
