  1. Raths

    Share Share Post
    In Ward's land there is a rath. It is said that the "White feet" used to hide in it. One day a man cut bushes to mend a fence. A thorn stuck in his finger and it got blood poisened. When the doctor came the man said "I wish I never had to cut that bush."
    One night lads were coming from the pictures. They heard music on a hill called "Mount Eagle".
