- About sixty years ago a man named Commons, was ploughing around a fort in Rathglass. He took a scrape of the fort. When he came home and had the horses loosened out, and had his supper eaten he heard a great shouting and crying outside his house and he bolted all his doors and windows. The next day he went to the field where he was ploughing and left down the scrape, and he never heard the shouting, or crying afterwards. It was supposed to be the fairies.
