    There is a rath on Hawkins' land, in Spynans. My uncle Patsy and two other men were out one night near this rath, when they heard lovely music. The never waited a minute, they ran till they landed at home!
    Another night, Granny and Kitty were passing the gate. They stood for a minute, and they saw a light in the rath - lighting up and going out.
