The fairies used to take the meal and after a while they would leave back the meal. Lowertown is about eleven miles south of Tullamore. nearly all the forts are in sight of on another. There is a lot of forts in this parish.

  2. Local Forts

    There are not many forts in our district. But there is a fort in Coolagh. I is round in shape. It is in front of a house, every night when the people go to bed they see a light in the fort. It shines through the window.
