    A Story of a Rath
    There is a rath in a field on our farm. It is said that the fairies used to live here long ago. The rath is of a small size. There are three entrances leading into it. It is surrounded by a great mound of earth and thorny bushes growing on top of it. It is round in shape. It is an earthen rath.
