- Not far from my home is an old rath or hill called Deire Fluich.This rath is in the bog of Bracklyn about one mile from the road leading from Bracklyn to Raharney.According to local tradition a robber lived in the neighbourhood long ago. This robber was being pursued by soldiers... and in his flight before he was caught he managed to hide his "treasure" which was a "top boot" of Gold under a rock on the sunny side of this hill.It is said that whoever is able to remove the rock shall find a Boot of Gold.
