  1. Old Rath

    Share Share Post
    There is a rath in Paddy Kelly's land in Ashtown, Piltown, Co Kilkenny. The people call it Coady's rath. It has a round shape and it surrounded by a stone wall. In the middle of it there is a hole. A flat stone covers it but no one ever went down in this hole. It was ploughed once by James Coady and during the year it was ploughed James Coady died.
