- There are many forts in my locality. There is one in Kilrane, one in Letterilly, one in Stranaglough, one in Druimsilleac. They are called by different names. They are called cashels, scalans, forts and duns. Every one of these can be viewed from the other and they were situated in this way in order to give signs to each other when in distress. Most of these are round and encircled by a deep bank, and then surrounded by a large trench. Long ago fairies lived in these forts.
