The farmers believe that if they interfere with them that crops wouldn't grow.
There is another place outside Roundwood which is owned by Mr. Kearns.
The ditches are all covered with a little hedge and in the middle of the field there stands a loan tree.

That night he heard the Beanshe crying at his window and he had to put up the tree again.
