- Forts
In our land in Ballylonagh there is a fort. It is called a liss. It is circular in shape and there is a mound of earth around it. There is another fort near it. It has an entrance in the side. My great grandfather found old weapons in it. He said the walls inside are lined with stone shelves. He could not go in for leisure of the bad air. It was built there by the Danes. There is a ivy around it where they used to tie their horses. My father was making a hole for a post on the top of it with an iron bar. The bar ran ran down through the fort a far as his hand. The entrance to the fort is now closed up.
