    Barry of Lisnager House, while hunting one day saw a fancy tree in Shanakeel, Kildinen. He went home and ordered his men to go that evening and root it up and bring it to Lisnager.
    The men brought it and it was planted in front of the Great House. The next morning it was found to have gone back to Shanakeel again.
    Barry sent his men again for it. It was planted again and Barry ordered three men to guard it during the night. While on guard a sidhe gaoithe arose and the men, becoming frightened, ran for their lives. the tree was again taken back to Shanakeel and again Barry sent for it ordering to guard over it
