  2. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There are a couple of fairy forts in this district. They are called moats. They are in the townland of Slane. They are in view of one another. They are circular in shape. There was a big rampart around one of them and a walk around the other one. There is a place called Newrath. It is about two miles and a half from Slane. It got its name because there was a rath there. It is said that fairies and goblins were seen there. There is no entrance because it was blocked up. Some people say there is an entrance because there is a hollow at the top.
