   There is an old rath in Ticknevin Robertstown. There are big caves inside in it. One day Peter Behan was coming by and he heard a lot of noise going on inside, and when he went over he could hear a lot of talk going on also. One night when my grandfather was coming home close beside the fort he saw a small lady sitting under a tree and a hood over her head and he went over and asked her what she was doing there at that hour of the night. She told him to pass on that it was no business of his.
