  1. Heffernan's Rock

    Share Share Post
    There is a Rath near our house. It is owned by Mr. Heffernan.
    It is in the town land of Rath-Connell. It is a round Rath. There is a hollow in the middle of the Rath. There are some stones in it. There are trees and bushes around the Rath. People believe there are fairies in it. Nano Heffernan told me that she saw a light in the Rath and it went out again.
