- This rath has a very bad name amongst old people in West Idrone, especially amongst those living near it, in Tomard, Coolnekishe, Seskin Upper, Cranavonane and Craanlusky.
The illness and death of Bill Bergin is attributed to his having cut and burnt bushes on it. Mr Bergin died about 8 years ago. Calamities fell heavily on him. He lost a horse & two or three cows, before his own death. It wouldn't have been so bad if he only cut the bushes but seeing that he burnt them it is no wonder he was punished. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
