  2. There are a great number of moats in this district for example. There is a moat in Kilbeg and it is called the Moat of Kilbeg. This moat is said to be haunted because one day a man saw a white figure standing on the top of it. At twelve oclock every night the fairies come out of it and sing around it. There is another moat between Navan and Kells and another in Rockfield.
