  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Many years ago my father was ploughing near my home. When suddenly he heard a buzing noise coming towards him. It frightened both himself and horse. It came so strong that the horses had to bring their hind feet up to their fore to let it pass. It was bringing clay and leaves with it and it levelled the bushes from that to Brodrick's rath and never broke one of them it was sidhe gaoithe.
