- There is a fairy rath in Firoda. One day a man was ploughing the field outside the rath. He ploughed up a part of the rath. Michael Coady went home to his dinner in the middle of the day, and took the horses home with him. When he had eaten his dinner he went out to yoke the horses, but they both were dead, and the sods that he had ploughed were turned back.
