    “In the village of Ballyskeagh there is a hill...”

    Share Share Post
    In the village of Ballyskea there is a hill and it is said that the four leaf shamrock is growing on that hill, because long ago there used to be a lot of horses tied on that hill in the night. One night some of the horses loosened their tieings and their owner came in the middle of the night and he was the four leaf shamrock growing on the hill.
