It is said the Danes and native Irish fought a great battle here. The burial mounds should be worth investigation.
- There is a road under the ground from a rath in Joristown to Rath Guaire. One time when planting trees with other men on the rath John Higgins and I found bronze pin with a crook on the top about nine inches long, with markings.
He gave it to a man named Knight who sent it to the museum. - Informant
