“There are three forts in the townland of Cloontia...”
There are three forts in the townland of Cloontia parish of Kilcoleman Co. Mayo.
There is one in Derinbruck known as "cashel"
There is one in Tavnaghbeg known as John Macgeever's fort
There is one in Kilgariff West known as "Caltaragh". They are all circular in shape.
Cashel is in Tom Macgeever's farm it is a hill higher than the surrounding land there are no walls or trees around it a little distance from the hill there are little graves to be seen where the still born children are buried. The old people say that there were horses and cows heard on Cashel or Eskerard as they sometimes call it and lights seen by night in it. They say also that if you scratch your hand on the thorn bushes growing amongst the graves that it will never get better

“Long ago the owners...”
Long ago the owners of the fort of Eskerard ploughed it and when the potatoes grew they were covered with blood and nothing grew there since. There were lights seen and music heard init, there was also churning and drumming heard in it and the people were afraid to go outside the door at nightime.
Patrick MacGeever, Slievemore, Cloontia age not sixty years
It is said that the fairies held a fair on Eskerard long ago and that grass never grew on the hill.
James Duffy, Dernabrock East, Cloontia.
