- There was a Rath situated on a farm down near Donard. A man named Wilson owned the farm. Wilson was a very good man, but his wife was not. She took notice of the rath and did not like it, and he levelled it, and all his crops had to be sold.
One day he and she were walking in the rath and she lost her senses. She became so mad that she had to be smothered between two beds.
