    Share Share Post
    There is a Mass bush in Killiskea. It is in a ditch on th side of the road. The Mass bush is round and wide and flat on the top. The Mass bush gets its leaves in March and it has its blossoms before the other bushes get their leaves.
    Long ago the Priests used to say Mass under this bush out in the field.
