- Murphys Rath is situated beside the Rocka-foyle wood. It is a big field with bushes in the middle, and a round hole near the bushes. There are a few swamps near hole.
The hole is very round, and about five feet deep. - Willoughby's rath is a round clump of bushes with fairy walks here and through it.
In summer nights fairy music is supposed to be heard there, and fairy people are supposed to be seen there on summer nights.
The two of them are in the townland of Knocadogue. The Danes are no way connected with them.- Collector
