    a rath. This rath was covered over with rubbish and it is fenced off from the land. It is now full of rabbits. Many old people say that a man was out about snares and when he went over to the old rath he heard three loud cries. He looked and saw a strange creature close behind him. He ran home as fast as he could and when he reached home he was unable to speak. When the priest came he was unconscious and he died later.
