1. Folklore - The Old Moat

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In one of the fields in Moatfarrell there is an old moat which is said to date back to the sixth century.
   Old people say that when they were young they used to remember seeing a hole on the top of it and that if you got a stone and threw it down the hole you would hear it hopping as if it were going down a flight of steps.
   Round the moat there is a dyke which was probably filled with water when the moat was besieged.
   The moat is about fifty feet high and there are tiers of steps going from the bottom of the dyke to the top of the moat and one side of the moat lime-stone rocks can be seen and up a little higher there are white thorn bushes growing.
   On the far side of the road there used to be a tunnel but it was filled up on account of the number of cattle that got killed by going into it and getting smothered.
