- Willoughby's rath is a round clump of bushes with fairy walks here and through it.
In summer nights fairy music is supposed to be heard there, and fairy people are supposed to be seen there on summer nights.
The two of them are in the townland of Knocadogue. The Danes are no way connected with them.
