  1. There is a ráithín in Muingreevagh, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo. There is a half circle of a wall about three or four feet in height. The ráithín is up on a high bank. There are briars growing inside the wall. There was a black dog seen going around the ráithín. There were lights seen also. It is three or four years since those things were seen.
