- A man went into Mag Foxe's rath in Newtown Robertstown Co Kildare & began to cut a tree.
A piece of wood went into his eye & his eye withered away.
A very old man named Danaher told this to James Dunne Allenwood N.S. - People used to put a bit of hay at the door for St. Brigid to wipe her feet passing by door on St. Brigid's eve.
