- There is a rath in Ballycroney and the Danes are suppose to have built it. There was a woman coming home one night across the rath and the faires caught her and lifted her over the ditch and then she went astray. She was never seen or heard of again. It is circular in shape and it is built of stones. There is another in Cody's field and the entrance is in the centre. It is built with stones and the Danes are believed to have built it too.
