   There is a fort in the townland of Fountain. There are several stories abut this fort. One man named Brook's saw a lovely line of clothes hanging out on the hedge. He went and called a few of his neighbours to come and see it and when they came to the place the clothes had disappeared. There is another fort in Erinagh and every night about twelve o clock there is a light seen going all round the fort. All round the fort is a sod wall.
