  2. Boyne's Rath
    Years ago the rath was used for burying infant children. One time an old man named Tom Murray found money that was hidden in the Rath and for three nights afterwards the village was terrified by the bellowing of a strange animal which seems to traverse the village although nobody actually saw it. In a week after Murray died and his only sister lost her sight.
