- There is a rath called in Kyle Rathcusack & it is said that anybody passing would hear music and singing. Inside the rath there is a lot of thorny bushes. One night a man was passing the rath & he heard the fairies singing & he began to sing and then the fairies made him dance & when he went home he fell sick & died in a few days.
