    Share Share Post
    There is a rath in the towmland of Ballintee and it is called Shea's Rath. It is circular in shape and there are trees all round it. There is a trench round it, and there is a bank on the inside.
    It is said that if anyone took a stick out of it some evil thing would happen to them.
