    Apparently, in years gone by potatoes were always planted in ridges in this district.
    In the centre of Michael Longs field in Lower Rath there is a very large hill not unlike an old rath or fort. The people say that in the side of this hill there used to be a cave and that money was found in it. Some people still claim that it contains more treasure should any person be fortunate enough to discover its exact position.
