  1. My Townland

    Share Share Post
    The townland in which I live in is called Rathmoyle. It got its name from a forth which is in the far end of it. There is also another forth in a field called "Ballure". It seemed that there was a dún there, belonging to a King or great warrior, because there is the track of it and some stones to be seen there to-day.
    There is a leprechane to be seen there. If anybody was passing that place very late at night, there are fairies. There are other fairy tales connected with my townland.
