Rath in baile Nua

There is an old fort in Baile Nua. The Tuatha De Danann were living in the fort long ago. They had not the fort finished when they were hunted because there are always two walls round a fort and there are no walls round the fort that is in Baile Nua. 

It is thirty yards in length and thirty yards in breadth. It is on the farm of Martin Finerty Newtown, about a mile from Mt Bellew.
