“There is a rath on Dick Phelan's land of Tourthane. ...”
There is a rath on Dick Phelan's land of Tourthane. Long ago a man cut a branch and he lost the use of his arm. The old people used to see the fairies washing out. To the present day a light is seen coming in and out of the rath. No one goes near the rath.
