- Rathmoyle gets its name from a narrow rath that is in Mr Sweeneys field. There is supposed to be a pot of gold buried in that rath with an eel minding it.
It is said that this eel goes to first Mass every Sunday. I you wanted to find the gold you would have to go there while the eel would be gone to mass. Then dig down a few feet untill you come to a flag and under this flag you would find the gold.
