    The Dog's Eye.
    There is a stone in one of our fields called the dogs eye. There is a place near this spot called the fairy field. This field is very unlucky
    There was lights seen there not so long ago. There was a man laid astray one night when coming home from looking at sheep. It is said that the fairies do be there.
    There is a rath in the middle of this field. There is a hawthorn growing in the middle of this rath
