- (continued from previous page)old woman called Stasia lived down in the cave. In the year of the "Big Snow" she was smothered on her way to one of the houses.
There is also a rath on Ned Hogan's farm. It is a round shape. Every night the sound like churning is heard from twelve to one o'clock. It is dangerous to passs the rath at night.There is a moat called Rah in this parish where there is a great view of the country round.
"You can see Thurles
like-wise Rathdowney
The devil's bit and
the hill of Spa.
The Galtee mountains
and brave Sliab-bardy
are all in sight of
the moat of Rah."- Collector
