  1. Carroll's Rath

    Share Share Post
    One day two men were out hunting. When they were about a mile from the rath they heard a terrible noise. They went up the fields. When they were facing the rath the saw stones and grass going up in the air and all the trees fell. The next day a cow and a calf were in the rath and they were killed by the fairies. The rath is in the townland of Lisnafunchin.
