  2. A Fairy Rath

    Share Share Post
    There is a rath in a field near my house. It is said that there are fairies living in it. Long ago a man tried to plough the rath. He ploughed half of it. In the morning when he came to plough the other half, the half he had ploughed was overgrown with greens again.
