212 Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academi/. 



The other forts near Killaloe, between the hills and the Shannon, are of but 

 little interest : simple riugs, about 100 feet across inside, and nearly 

 circular, with usually a fosse and sometimes an outer ring ; the stonework is 

 nearly always destroyed. Three remain in Ballyvally and sis iu Creeveroe ; 

 the last is an interesting and suggestive name, occui-ring as it does near the 

 royal raths of Killaloe ; it recalls the Creeveroe near Emania, which itself 

 recalls the great " order " of the Eed Bi-anch [CreaJbh I'VMd), so famous iu our 

 early epic poetry. 



The length at which we were obhged to study the early history leaves me 

 no option but to reserve for a final paper the accoimts of the forts near 

 Clonlara, Kilkishen, Quin, and Clooney, requisite for the completion of the 

 study of the forts of eastern Clare, and of more stiiietm-al importance (though 

 devoid of history) than the " royal forts " of Killaloe.
