- The rath situated on Mr Kavanagh's land in Donard in the parish of Cloughbawn and county of Wexford is supposed to contain a treasure.It consists of a crock of gold which was hidden there by the Danes.One time long ago a man named Aidan Foley went alone to dig for it. While he was digging a white hen flew out into his face so he had to give up. He got such a fright that he never recovered and died a few weeks afterwards. Light is often seen at 12 o'clock at night at the rath.The above was collected by Patrick Flynn Donard who heard it from his grandfather Patk. Flynn Donard. His mother also remembers hearing the story from her own mother who lived in Donard for many years, but who died some years ago.
