There are faint vestiges of a ditch outside the parapet. In the adjacent parish of Dunagore there is an elliptical enclosure, which has little hollows similarly formed, but its use is equally unknown. There is, however, a tradition that, during the wars of 1641, the Protestants were encamped here, and that the Irish were encamped on the opposite side of the valley, at Duna- moy Moat, in the parish of Rashee. It is said that several cannon balls have been found at both places. There are six fort...s in this civil parish, all circular and constructed of earth ; they vary in diameter from 45 to 80 feet, and present nothing peculiar in their construction or situation. Upwards of twenty caves are remembered by the inhabitants, but, with the exception of six, they have been wholly or partly demolished, or their entrances closed up. Bones of deer, sheep, cows, ashes of wood, charred husks of corn, and a few "Danes' pipes," were all that were found in them. In Ballywee, or Ballyvoy — " the town of the cave," there are five caves, in one of which there is a spring well ; three of them are now closed up.
