  1. Fairy Forts

    Share Share Post
    There is a rath in Mr. Kings field. The fairies used to live in it long ago. It is said if any man happened to cut a tree, would be killed.
    There is another rath in Mr. Murphy's field. There is a hole in the rath. If any man covered the hole would die.
