- There are two Fairy Forths in our locality, one in Cromogue and the other in Rossard. It is said that there do be lights seen in it every night after twelve o'clock. The fairies do be dancing in it at night. They are never killed. The one in Kyle is called the old graveyard. There are stones in it which is said to be headstones over the dead. Some people are afraid to pass near those Raths at night after twelve o'clock.
