Mound in Woodstown (middlethird By., Killoteran Par.)

There were traditions about an area known as 'Sean Dún', the old fort at Woodstown, which was demolished when the railway line was built and a large quantity of bones were discovered (Power, 1952, 367). This old fort could be a reference to the enclosure (WA009-006----) or the large enclosure with evidence of Viking and earlier occupation (WA009-019----). Power, Rev. P.
