    There are two raths in the townland of Ballybeg.

    There are two raths in the town land of Ballybeg. There is a path leading from one rath to the other. The pathway is by a farmer's house. Some years ago, he built a house, on the path-way. No matter what way he locked the door of the house; when he went out next morning, the door would be wide open.
    He cut three large holes in the door in which a person could go out through, so the door was never opened afterwards.
