    It is very unlucky to have anything to do with these Raths. The owner of one of these Raths sowed wheat in it one year. After that he was very unlucky. Some of his horses and cows died. There was a man living near him and he told him not to till the Rath any more that is was not lucky to have anything to do with them.
