   Fairy Rath There's a Fairy Rath in Willowbrook behind Ballinorley School, Sligo and over 50 years ago the owner's sons and nephews after being told and warned not to go near the Rath by the owner, stole out one morning at three o'clock and dug into it, curious to see what was in it, and discovered there were a lot of rusty guns in it, likely a hiding place for guns during the ninty-eight rebellion
