  1. When the French Landed in Killala

    Share Share Post
    Long ago when the French laded in Killala, they journeyed through the country. They took up their positions in our land n Rathball where they built a hut. There is still a cave to be seen there, and the neighbours say that one time they saw it open and that there are many rooms in it. Some of the old people say that they were within it, and journeyed through it, and when they finished their journey they came out beyond at Ardnaree. Nine or ten years ago, some sheep strayed from owners who did not know where to find them. They got them in Ardnaree.
