    him all night. Fitzpatrick of Loran cut some hay in rath but when they had it loaded it was all blown off the cart and so they never meddled with anything around the rath since. Long ago there was a fight and people were buried there. There is a hole in the middle of it. There is another rath in Ballytarsna and and uncle of John Carroll's cut a tree in it and he got a pain in his arm and lived a very short time. Old people said it is not right to interfer with raths.
