BESIDE A RATH (Cois Leasa). Irish, Hornpipe. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Beside a rath, meaning 'beside a fairy circle'. Thought by O'Neill and Bayard to be a version of "Flowers of Edinburgh (1)," although Alfred Moffat and Donal O'Sullivan (The Bunting Collection) disagree. It resembles "Cois Leasa agus me go h-Uaigneac."
